2020 Macbook Pro Getting Very Hot Especially on right side of keyboard
I just got a 4 port MacBook Pro, (the base one with 512 ssd and 16 gb RAM) and I noticed it runs pretty hot. I always use it on a flat surface desk. Today is day 5. When it heats up I notice the right side of the keyboard is much hotter than the left specifically around the h j k t b u y I n keys. Is this normal? What is under those keys to make it so hot and not the left side. The whole keyboard has gotten hot one time to the point where it is extremely uncomfortable to even type at all and my fingers had bright red spots even after a while looked like when you touch a hot pan or something but don’t get a actual burn. And I woke up the next day with a lingering feeling on my right hand finger tips. I will check in with the Genius Bar if it doesn’t get better soon and to just make sure everything is good. But it just felt really strange to me as its brand new and I don’t run anything intensive most of the time I’m using safari and iTunes and notes app at most. I checked the activity monitor and there aren’t any other processes taking up a high percentage of cpu. I downloaded Mac fan control to just see my temperatures and the fan speeds. It seems that the laptop waits a while until its very hot to the touch but normal for cpu temps to start up the fans and run them around 1250-1350 rpm. Do the 2020 MacBooks all do this, wait until its hot to go up from 0rpm because while its at 0rpm I can still feel the heat radiating strongly off the keyboard. I charged from the left side the first time and then read about how that can possibly heat it up even more and switched to the right side. My temperatures are pretty normal I think. Right now I’m typing on the notes app with iTunes playing music and the keyboard is getting very very very warm on the right side, it does not feel like a average keyboard warmth to me. Temps of the cpu are about 55 C, fans at 0 rpm. I used a older MacBook Pro earlier this year and did not experience this at all. I’ve also done a SMC reset. Is anyone else experiencing this or have any suggestions. I asked my friends with other “less powerful” models of the 2020 MBP with 1 fan and they said theirs barely get hot so I’m finding this strange. When I do anything like streaming a episode from Netflix too, wow wow very hot.
