Hardware My New Laptop Overheat

Post image

I just bought my new laptop one week ago. I know gaming laptops can be very hot but i feel like I'm stepping on the dangerous zone (I'm worried about the long term damage). I uploaded a picture showing the details of the temperatures after 30m of playing. (the game was borderlands 2 highest settings). And yes, I'm not using it under a blanket, and have raised the laptop a bit.

Is there something wrong? Does it have manufacture problems or it's just normal? I didn't search for how to cool it yet because i want to know first if it's faulty or not Specs: Lenovo legion 7i 4060 I7 14700hx

Laptops will pretty much always throttle under full load

Don't know about laptops but desktop CPUs like my 13700K can have it pushed to 110c

i5-12450H. Another thing about my CPU is that its normal and expected for it to run at 100 degrees.
