16inch Macbook Pro is this normal?

[joeriggs]

I have the base model 16inch MacBook Pro and I'm monitoring its temperature via iStat.
For others with a 16inch, does it typiclly run pretty hot even for reguar tasks like web browsing, typing spreadsheets, etc...?
Is it normal for it to hit 150 degrees watching youtube videos?

150F is 65C. The CPU limit is 100C.

Also if you watch videos you may be dealing with heat from the CPU and the Discrete GPU, especially if you use Chrome.
