I just bought a new gaming laptop. ASUS ROG Zephyrus - AMD 7 Processor, 16 Gbit RAM and 3050 NVIDIA graphics card. On the first day while playing CS-GO it gets really loud and hot, and task manager shows 100% disk memory usage. I contact the retailer and they told me to update everything, after doing this task manager stopped showing 100% disk usage, and temps were steady around 40-60 celcius, then i booted world of warcraft and it went to 80/90 celcius within minutes, the computer should be more than well equipped to play these games as they are pretty low maintaince. What's the next move, should i return the PC?

Gaming laptops 'generally' run pretty hot and heavy, they will ramp up in usage, and run warmer than their desktop counterparts.

A few things you can do:

Set your laptoptop on a hard surface.

Throwing a few bucks at a cooling pad might be a good idea as well.

If you want we can go through and try to troubleshoot if this is a software issue we can, but this sounds fairly normal to me.
