My MacBook  will be slightly higher than that after it's been on a while.

I'm not sure what model you are concerned about but you can check out the
Intel Mac Temperature Database at

http://www.intelmactemp.com/list
This site will help collect and show the temperatures of Apple Macintosh
computers using the new processors by Intel.



FWIW a Dashboard widget I really like for monitoring the computer is 'iStat Pro'

http://www.apple.com/downloads/dashboard/status/istatpro.html

iStat pro is the ultimate system monitoring widget, consisting of nine
sections which can be minimized, expanded, or closed.

It features detailed information on CPU, memory, hard drives, IP and
external IP, bandwidth, CPU temperature, battery, uptime, temperatures, and
fans. You'll know exactly what's going on inside your Mac!

Not for the faint-hearted or anyone with a small screen.

Features
- 9 Sections that can be show or hidden
- Anti-aliased graphs
- Filtering of cd's and dvd's in drives section
- Ability to control which drives, network interfaces, temperature and fan
sensors are displayed
- Built in update checker
- 3 designs with a total of 10 skins

What's New in this Version
- Added module to read temperature and fan speeds on Intel based Macs
(speedit no longer required for temps)
- Added airport signal quality readings.Airport icon in network sections
contain 4 bars which represent the signal quality.
- Fixed a bug that caused issues with dividers not showing on wide skin in
some cases
- Various minor improvements
