Thank you for sharing your experience, and I am really sorry that BlueStacks is lagging so much for you, especially in simple games like Geometry Dash. What you describe usually points to how resources are allocated to the emulator rather than raw laptop power, which is why Minecraft can still run fine on your system. In BlueStacks, performance depends a lot on settings like CPU cores, RAM, graphics mode, frame rate, and whether virtualization is enabled on the PC. These can cause stutter or heavy lag even on light games if they are not tuned for your specific hardware. If you are open to giving it another try, you can also start by setting Performance mode to Balanced, lowering the resolution to 1280 x 720, locking FPS to around 30 to 60, and closing other background apps, which often improves lag in Geometry Dash and similar titles.
