Yes, this is an absolutely normal temperature. Remember that you have an 11th gen H-series processor in your laptop. This uses almost twice the power that most mobile processors use, so it will run hotter. It's supposed to be a desktop CPU in a laptop form factor. Mine idles at about what yours does (11800H), and will hit around 90C under full load. The top of my laptop gets very toasty when it's working hard. Also, if you have a dedicated GPU installed, it will get even hotter. Your options are: 1 - Open Dell Power Manager, select the "Cool" thermal profile. This changes the fan curve so the fans will come on slightly earlier, and it will throttle your CPU so it doesn't get so hot. 2 - Get an amazing cooling pad like this: [URL] It forces a powerful air stream right to the underside of your laptop to keep it cool. I can tell you this is like the best cooling pad you can get. 3 - Embrace the heat and think about how it will keep your legs all warm during those cold winter nights in a few months.    
My laptop has an Intel i5 11320H. When my laptop is idle, the CPU package idles at 42-48 degree Celsius. Is this normal? Provided: - My room temperature is 32 degrees Celsius. Also, the upper middle portion of the laptop gets fairly hot. Any help is appreciated.
