NEW MacBook Pro MD101HN/A (S/N-C1*******TY3) GETS HEAT

I purchased a MacBook Pro MD101HN/A (S/N-C1*******TY3) on 10/24/2014. Now its getting too hot in normal room temperature during only browsing internet/watching movie with/without head phone, I haven't changed/modified any hardware and don't charge it when it runs. Please suggest As Soon As Possible.

The temperature may depend upon the applications and processes that you are using. Games, videos consume the CPU resources and get the MacBook Pro hot whereas simple Internet browsing and simple applications will not. Check the Activity Monitor to determine which applications may be the culprits.

Click Activity Monitor, this will list all the software processes running, look at the % CPU, which has the biggest number running. Try to quit or stop that process or processes.
