CPU temperature between 39-58C, Is It Normal?

Is this normal?


On one hand I have a SU user says that this is not normal, on the other there is an expectation that the idle temperature should be around 50C. Which one is correct?

My work laptop has a Core 2 Duo and regularly gets up to 55C when working hard, I wouldn't consider it massively hot.


There's a temperature guide for Core 2 Processors here. It does look rather confused, but hopefully it will make sense.
