Are you using an SSD? That does make a pretty big difference.

Also, make sure you are setup to use proprietary firmware. IDK if fedora does that by default. For my laptop I was running without it for a bit and things were definitely a bit sluggish. I had to add some modprobe settings for the i915 (intel video card) driver.

For your CPU it'd look something like this

    # /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf
    options i915 enable_guc=2 enable_fbc=1
(might be guc=3)

You'll need to make sure you have the linux-firmware package installed.

(Some googling suggest fedora isn't doing this for you).

Here's an arch wiki entry about it with a bunch of extra diagnostics commands.

Here's a gist that also covers fedora
