I purchased the mentioned acer laptop a week ago, and I was wondering wether if the temps are too high, also if I can charge it using type-c?
The laptop is plugged in.
My temps never goes below 50 celsius.
cinebench r20 wen around 80 degrees,
average use is 60-70
Is this considered normal? I have never owned a laptop in my life, so I have no reference.
Thank you.

    Your temps are normal, and are not likely to be a concern in a new laptop. Temps only become an issue if you are overclocking/heavy gaming or one of the fans messes up. In either scenario, you will know the temp is too high because the whole thing will crash and refuse to reboot until it cools off, lol.

    Thank you, I will not worry about the temps then.

    On the other hand, last night I found (at the most obvious place, where I didn't look) the user manual, which states the following:

    So with this I face the problem of not having a compatible C charger, and acer doesn't sell any at all in my countr (EU/HU).
    Any recommendations for a good 65W/19V charger? I plan to use it with a Type C dock (External monitor + DCin on the dock).
    Thank you for your help.

    The link I sent you gives the specs you will need to look for when buying a compatible C charger for it. I wish I could help you more than that, but I haven't tried to charge mine via C yet, so there's not much I can do besides help you find pre-existing information about it.

    The key is that DC-in line, you need enough power and enough voltage. Some USB-C chargers aren't big enough for 65W, some don't go as high as 19V.
