Load times are based on the type of drive you're using. Your laptop likely uses a hard disc drive [HDD], which have been around since the first computers ever, so that's what's making it take so long. Solid state drives [SSD] are way faster since it's all digital instead of having mechanical parts like an HDD, but you can only install specific types of SSDs in specific types of laptops, so I'd see if I could find an external USB SSD, and then install the game on that drive.
This could also be a RAM issue, but it's very unlikely, and installing more RAM on a laptop is hellishly difficult and annoying, and does very little to improve performance.
If you're strapped for cash, I'd try setting all graphical settings, including the resolution, to as low as possible, and see if that helps at all. If it does make a noticeable difference, you can then gradually increase the settings until you find a good balance of performance/visuals.

The best bet to improve loading would to be to get an SSD, as the poster above stated. This would improve loading in pretty much anything you have trouble with. SSDs should be fairly cheap depending on where you live too. A 120GB SSD in the U.S. can be bought for $20-$25 and would be plenty of space for this game and maybe a few others, depending on the size.

It's something you might find yourself really liking a lot once you get one.

I am not sure that plugging a drive via USB would be a good idea.

Moreover, adding RAM to a laptop is pretty easy.

Why not? You'd definitely want to make sure the port you're using is USB3.0 compatible for speed reasons, but external drives that are made to connect via USB will work fine generally.

Also in terms of the RAM part, that's not always the case. Some laptops, especially gaming-targeted ones, will have easily accessible and expandable memory, but it's not uncommon to see laptops that are harder to access the internals of, laptops that already have all slots filled (so you'd have to replace the memory and not get as much more of it), and it's definitely not uncommon to have soldered RAM which is basically impossible to either replace or upgrade.

In terms of loading times, probably the only thing you can realistically do is try a faster drive if you're using a slow one. For performance in general, it'd be helpful if you gave specific specs.
