My new MacBook is always hot!

My brand new MacBook Pro has been getting extremely hot every time I use it. I’ve only used it 3 times since I got it and every time it immediately gets hot to the touch. I’ve checked my applications through the activity monitor and nothing is taking up a large percentage of usage. Also, since I just got my Mac, I don’t see why it would be a dust or dirt issue. Please help!

It's common for Macs to experience higher temperatures/minor slowdowns when they have just been set up, as applications and programs such as iCloud Drive, Photos, Mail, etc. are setting up for the first time. Your Mac will return to normal temperatures as soon as the programs are done setting up.
