Hello,
Well, laptop gets noticeably hot while charging and also charger brick is quite hot as well, it is safe to touch and all, but i feel that it's quite hot...

Temps (charging):
CPU: 55-60c (with chrome, android studio and emulator open)
Battery: 38c

Temps (discharging):
CPU: 50-55c (with chrome, android studio and emulator open)
CPU: 38-42c (with chrome only)
Battery: started at 36.5c and slowly decreased to 35c

These temps are according to coconutBattery.

AppleSmartBattery command (bc <<< "scale=3; `ioreg -r -n AppleSmartBattery | grep Temperature | cut -c23-`/100") shows different results:
Battery (while charging): 31.120
Battery (while discharging): 30.990

My main concern is with battery. I know that CPU is perfectly fine, however i have read that battery should be under 35c and anything over is dangerous...

P.S it's brand new, 4 charge cycles...
P.S 2 i don't know ambient temps, but weather app shows 30c in my city...
