New laptop a little hot?

[Smith]

My dad just bought a new laptop yesterday, a toshiba low end one. Its using a celeronM. Speedfan says the only temp that shows, "HD0" is 50 C. Right now its on my lap using wireless internet. Is this okay?

[Seedler]

50C for HD is reasonable.

Sounds normal to me.

If my laptop goes over 38C it shuts off instantly.
In my eyes 50C is way to hot.

hey 100% theres a diff in temps for laptops and desktops, i would think laptop parts run at higher temps because the hardware is so close to each other, without many cooling devices...

Well i turned it off and now its on the counter..its idling at 43C. Must have been because its onmy lap.

You should put it away from your cash prizes.

Smith- This has been out a while, but you do know that the heat from holding a laptop on your lap can lead to sterility right?

that would probably do more damage to the private area than the heat alone
