Will probably need some more information pertaining to your actual machine first.

  1. Hard drive space:
  2. RAM:
  3. Processor:

But at the same time I don't think SQL 2008 is that big of a file as far as physical space goes... However, if your laptop doesn't have much for RAM it could be causing the slowness you're experiencing as well.

Hard Drive : 300 GB
RAM : 2GB
Processor : Intel Pentium. Dual Core.

The minimum RAM is 512MB and minimum recommended is 2GB. That is basically for the database server. You should double that to 4GB in order to avoid virtual memory swapping. I assume you are running the 64-bit OS and database server? If not, then upgrade asap!
