2019 16 inch MacBook Pro Hot

Hey, Is it normal for a new 2019 16 inch MacBook Pro to be hot/warm to the touch under the bottom of the unit by the hinge side of the laptop? I'm just running a browser. Thanks!

Mac Pro 2019, warm/hot to touch I just got a brand new Mac Pro 2019 for work and transferred my previous Mac Pro (older model) to the new one via the transfer service provided. It's running great, and I love the laptop, however, I noticed that it runs rather warm at the back of the bottom and near the vents. Is this normal for this laptop? I did upgrade the processor to the i7 and 32GB ram since I do a lot of development work. I've got it in a vertical stand with the bottom vents faced out and run it in clamshell mode hooked to a large retina display. I just want to make sure the heat is normal for this laptop.

the back of the screen of my macbook air m2 getting hot I'm living in a city which reaches temperatures of 35 º to 40º degrees celsius. and the back of my laptop's screen gets too warm when the display brightness reaches 50% or more, is it normal or not ? although i have used many macbooks in the same condition but I have never experienced the same thing ( 13' mbp 2015, 13' mbp 2017, 13' mbp 2011 ) I don't know if it's a common problem among new macbook m2 airs, or the problem is in my computer.
