Why is my MacBook overheating?

so I bought this MacBook like literally few days ago. then I use a silicone keyboard cover and a MacBook case. after just one day, when I tried to download some apps on the App Store then I realized that my keyboard gets hot especially the keyboard top part and the gap between the screen and the keyboard. its so weird because then I turned it off and even though I didn’t open any apps or connect to the internet it still gets hot. is there something wrong with my MacBook because its brand new and its unlikely gets hot very quickly. but the fan hasn’t turned on but if you touch It with your finger, it feels warm. and I use MacOS Mojave. can anyone help me thank you

@Norhan Khaled - Did you install a thermal management app like TG Pro to see what's happening? Click on the Blue Link below to get it.

Macbook Air 2018-2020 is a mound of rubbish. it gets overheating because the cooling fan is not aimed directly at the processor heatsink. Core i5 processors were very hot but they designed the cooling as if they were using an Intel atom processor that doesn't certainly need a cooling fan. All this happened because of Apple's obsession with creating a super slim product but failed in terms of quality and durability. This problem also occurred with 12-inch MacBook retinas from 2015 to 2017 and they immediately stopped producing 12-inch MacBooks.

Take the keyboard cover and case cover off and see if the problem persists. If so, take it back in. Personally I would ask for an exchange rather than a repair. If you do keep it I would also get an extended AppleCare warranty.

here’s where to get Apple support in Indonesia

Return your system if the fan is not running. Install this app to check TG Pro

What is the web browser you are using and what is the size of your SSD and how full is it?

crwdns2934271:0crwdnd2934271:0crwdne2934271:0

It doesn't matter what kind of web browser she is using for and also the size of SSD. It's all because of Apple's faulty. Even if she is using a google chrome supposed to be normal if the computer in good cooling design.
