not sure if this is an issue - but some of these new laptops have a wireless feature that constantly scans for a connection. id disable it anyway tbh just a thought!

Try disabling auto-matic updates (significant performance increase). I'm also running a Toshiba... (faulty laptops).

Assuming the hardware is sound ( and Toshiba is) its all about software bloat.
The FIRST thing you should do with ANY OEM computer, laptop or desktop, is format the SOB and install a clean version of whatever OS you want to use.
Any problems you encounter on an OEM install are likely due to the HUGE amount of useless bullshit the factory decided to install for you.
