Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS is VERY slow on brand new HP laptop

I just bought a brand new laptop : a HP Spectre 13 af021nf (Core i7-8550U, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, Intel UHD 620 GPU).
Good news : it runs well on Windows. Bad news : it's awfully slow on Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS :(
It starts fine, but after a few seconds, it becomes really slow. Every single click takes seconds to be effective. The system is barely usable. Shame !
Here's what I get when I run top :
Apparently, Ubuntu thinks my CPU is overheating and launches the kidle_inject processes. But that's obviously wrong : the fan hasn't even started spinning!
Is there any way to fix this ? I'm soooo disappointed!

suggestion is to use turbostat (part of the linux-tools-common package) to see if it tells us something in its big spew of stuff when it starts.sudo turbostat. see also here.

@JoshuaBesneatte : installing the laptop-mode-tools package much improved the situation! My laptop is now usable :) Strangely, the kidle_inject processes are still at 50% CPU usage, but somehow the system is more responsive than before. Weird but I won't complain ! Thanks for your assistance guys !

Okay, maybe I rejoiced a bit too soon. My laptop runs better (I'm posting this message using it !), but it's still too slow for a brand new, premium laptop. I still have heavy CPU loads without doing much (7,94 - 5,75 - 4,71 as reported by top after a few minutes of casual web browsing and a few prowls around the Ubuntu interface). I triedsudo turbostatand it returns a sh...load of stuff I don't understand. I'd like to copy/paste that here but I don't know how, since I'm limited to a handful of characters...?
