50 FPS is pretty good. What type of laptop is that though? If the FPS drops from time to time it means there is a cooling issue. The GPU will throttle down at high temps. Buy a cooling fan or (even better) get a fan and blow it over your laptop while you're playing. If you know how to, open your laptop up and apply thermal paste to the GPU. I have this issue periodically and it corresponds to heat.

GPU = Graphics processing unit. Thermal paste helps to cool computer components.

Since you have to ask those questions, I would advise you not to open up your laptop, not without the assistance of someone who has more experience in laptop repair.

I can almost guarantee you that your issue is related to heat. I could help out, but you'd do best by buying a cooling fan from somewhere like Amazon. The good ones are about $30 and more.
