Your laptop must suck then, anon.
I had a shitty computer that could barely run anything, and it was able to play Shenmue at 60fps without any problems. NullDC isn't very resource intensive, even natively it should run fine.

It's one of those games that literally want you to train your moves, find new moves and just master the controls, because there was originally going to be like 7 games in this series, and you'd be getting better and stronger as the games go on, so the controls would've been refined more.
You can button mash your way through, it's not hard. If you put time into it though, you can really get good at the fighting, but I doubt anyone did that.
The gameplay is pretty shitty if you'd casually play it, and the camera doesn't help either, I never mastered any combos and just mashed throughout. It doesn't hurt the game too much I'd say. Yakuza has better combat, but it's fucking boring to fight since it's just the same combo again and again to win.
