My library is 100% MKV files so I will say that MKV being an issue with Jellyfin is not a thing
However, what may possibly happening here is that your laptop Jellyfin server is utilizing CPU for something before sending the video to your client
When you perform playback of one of these MKV files, can you check in both the dashboard and the logs to see if it is transcoding or remuxing these files?
Otherwise, it could be something Nvidia Shield related but I doubt it since it seems to be a very capable media device. But I don't have one to provide experience or tests with.
