Hi. I recently bought the new Macbook Pro 16 inch M1 Pro chip. I wonder what is the normal CPU temperature when idle or when running very light work? I have around 45-57c with google chrome watching Netlfix and Spotify on. Is this okay?
MacBook Pro (2020 and later)
I haven't monitored the temperatures on my M1 laptop yet, but those temperatures certainly don't seem out of ordinary for using Google Chrome (a resource hog) and Netflix since watching HD videos can definitely cause a computer to run hotter than normal.
You don't usually have to monitor temperatures on a Mac. If you feel you have a hardware issue, then run the Apple Diagnostics. Otherwise most issues are caused by third party software.

Keep your Mac notebook within acceptable operating temperatures
