Hi guys! I am using my MacBook Pro 13 inch 2019 for online classes. I used the app called blackboard. My laptop is hot when using the app. I used an application called MONIT to observe the laptop's condition. For CPU, the temperature is around 60C. For GPU it is around 60C as well. The 2 fans were spinning at around 1200++ rpm. Is this normal?

Hello Derek from Malaysia,
It sounds like you noticed your MacBook Pro gets warm when while using the Blackboard app. Be sure when using the MacBook, you use it on a flat solid surface like a table or a desk. When a MacBook is used on a blanket or the bed the device will get warm because it does not have proper ventilation.

Hello, I am experiencing the same issues when using the MacBook for classes. It is very disappointing because the laptop is two months old and my sole purpose for purchase was for graduate school.
When a phone call was placed to AppleCare they suggested I download the blackboard APP instead of running the program from safari.
I placed my MacBook Pro on a table.
