Adding to the Dell criticism

So I bought a 2020 model dell XPS 13 with the following specs: 

  1. 16GB RAM 
  2. i7-10710U
  3. 13" 1080p (ugh) display 

The device itself is really sleek and I have no problems with the performance. I run VS studio and MATLAB with no problems. Where we start to have problems is when I run MS teams as part of my meetings with work and the device seems to go insane. I recorded max temps of 80-90 C just idling on a teams call. Moreover, teams seems to absolutely destroy my battery. Overall I'm a bit disappointed that the device it replaced (5yr. old i5 HP) doesn't have the same issues. Am I alone or is this a common issue? Does it not seem illogical to pack an i7 into a device that's less than a cm in its thinnest place?
