It is not normal for a laptop to overheat. To ensure it remains cool, here are some helpful suggestions:

1. Regularly clean your laptop's fan and vents.
2. Enhance air circulation near your laptop (e.g. avoid having it on a pillow).
3. Avoid blocking the fans and vents with objects, like thick laptop cases.
4. Adjust the power settings to use the least amount of processing power needed for your task.
5. When possible, use a cooling pad.
