Just curious how hot notebook should be if it being charge and use at the same time. Especially during summer time (28+ celcius). Processor is PentiumM (Centrino notebook).

i just got my notebook a week ago

seems like my cpu, ram, and hdd all idle around 48C
the gpu idles a little higher at around 55C

this is in a warm room, lets say ambient of high 20's

while watching movies, browsing internet the CPU gets as high as 55C before the fans kick in low mode

when gaming or full load, with the fans in top gear, the CPU manages its way to the high 60s

this is a Dell 8600
1.6 Dothan
128 MR9600

EDIT. after some gaming on NFS2 under ground 2. My GPU on the MR9600 got up to 100C !!!!

is this normal, i am paranoid now
