    Personally I think that's a bit high for idle, but that's within normal range for a laptop with a quad anyway (I'm only used to idle temps on my computer, which are fairly cool for a laptop).

    I wouldn't worry about it unless you're idling around 55c for the processor.

    That are okay temps if you are at 20-25ºC ambient temperature.
