Hey,

I picked up my new laptop today - the HP Pavilion 15-n268sa - and it was all working ok until about an hour after setting it up.

When I am listening to music through the audio jack there is a small amount of static that is not enough to get a replacement by itself but is enough to get highly annoying.

The main worry is that Speccy is reporting that my APU is reaching temperatures of 90-110 degrees. (http://imgur.com/XV3wZbe) I have read a few other posts saying that AMD temp reading are inaccurate but I can feel that the underneath of the PC is very very hot.

I am going on holiday in a couple of days and need a laptop to take with me - hence why I got it today thinking that it would be fine...

Should I see how it goes? Keep it for the holiday then if it's not any cooler get a replacement or just go straight for a replacement/refund.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks.

Please note; I have not ran any intensive tasks to make the temperature go up, I have been using Chrome, Windows 8 Mail app and downloading on Steam (not playing games), that's it.

Would you say it's worth getting a replacement? Or just get a refund and choose a different one/buy from somewhere else?
