I think my Celeron is too hot...

I have an HP Pavilion laptop (piece of crap, my mom bought it 🙁) with a 2.8 Northwood Celeron. I'm running MobileMeter, and its recording these pretty high temps. There's an intake and exaust fan, and I guess the stock HSF for the CPU too. Is this normal for a laptop? TIA.
 
It's not abnormal. Does it get hot enough that it could harm a surface it's setting on? Does it get so hot that it throttles to keep from burning up? Is dust blocking airflow? If not, I wouldn't worry about it. HP didn't get where they are by creating computers that burn themselves up under normal conditions.
 
Well, I was at a LAN party once and I brought this POS laptop. After about 6 hours of continuous play, my keyboard started becoming really really warm...

That's good... your fingers won't cramp up while at the LAN party. 😉 Mine gets warm too... too hot to keep in my lap... and it's a 366 MHz Pentium 2... still runs though so I'm not worried about it.
