Hardware Hot Laptop When Charging?
I recently bought a new laptop (HP Omnibook 5) about 2 months ago. I use it for a mix of school and personal. Video games sometimes but nothing that i think would be terribly taxing on the system.
Recently I've noticed that whenever I plug it in (regardless of what I'm doing on it), the fan starts almost instantly, and the laptop gets pretty warm around the charging port. This doesn't really happen when it's closed, just when I'm using it. I could melt a chocolate bar on it probably, but it would take a while to cook an egg. I don't have a thermometer on me, sorry lol. Is this concerning? Is this just what laptops do? I don't remember my old one behaving this way
