Hi guys !
Bought Samsung series 5 Laptop for my cousin since her N5010 died(Damn!)

Here is the link to the specific model

Laptop is less than a weak old but i noticed wierd temps (upwards of 100c+)
Softwares i used to detetmine the temps are speccy and a widget.
Both show 100-103c!

speccy is quite informative.
It was showing Temps like this on all cores
Core 0 - 102c
core 1 - 103c
core 2 - 102c
core 3 - 103c

Also motherboard temps vary from 48-52c.

These are number good numbers ,no?
i am quite wierd because dell n5010 never went above 90c ( bamm ! this thing sucks ! it always shutdown )
 
If the CPU is actually that hot, then it is likely a defect with the CPU temp senors, the CPU heatsink, or the motherboard. The APU/CPU should definitely not be that hot.

I would suggest returning/exchanging the system, or getting repaired (if under warranty).
