Is my laptop overheating??
Hello guys i have an issue with my laptop, 3 weeks ago i bought and inspiron 15 7559 with procesor intel I7, 16 of ram and a video card of 4 gb ddr5 NVIDIA 960M. Sometimes when im using excel or watching some videos on youtube it reaches 109 °F and you can feel it warming on the center of the keyboard; also when i am playing demanding games (life Wolfstein the New Order) ir reaches 149 °F. I don´t know if those temperatures are normal or it could harm my laptop. I would appreciate a lot if you can give me some info about this.

This is not to bad, you don't want it going much higher, I think 160 is as about as hot as you want it to get. If your really concerned you might want to get a cooling pad.

The problem here is that my laptop is brandnew, before this i had an asus that reached only 115 °F while gaming, i don´t know if i should go to the Dell service and ask them to check it or the temperature is how it is supposed to be. I am using a cooler right now but it only lowers the temperature 5 to 7 °. There are times when im watching some videos or working and the temperature reaches 122 °F

I'd suggest you update System Setup(BIOS):

After you updated BIOS then I suggest updating Chipset and Video( NIDIVIA) divers in correct order.

Lastly, you can update NVIDIA driver from the NVidia site:

You can buy a laptop cooler. This is a tray that sits at the bottom of the laptop and blows air into it from the bottom.
