Edit
I think it can not be scaled below a certain threshold. But Resizing by dragging works in Android-Studio-3.6.2.
And because of your small laptop screen size, there is no information about additional scaling internally by copy-pasting code snippet.
You can rather go with Genymotion which is
- lightweight
- small-size and low on resource
- can be resized according to preference
To use and run Android-Applications on Genymotion, run Genymotion and from Android-Studio install Genymotion plug-in then choose the Genymotion location.
When Genymotion is on, Android Studio detects it, you just need to hit Play button on Android studio to run Android-Application in Genymotion
