Is this a normal laptop behavior?

When charging it has the vents basically always on, and this started randomly one day. Also it seems a bit high to me 80 degrees when doing basically nothing.
(But im no expert so i was asking because it just seemed a strange.)
p.s. (Can you explain why it has this inconsistent temperature when charging?)
Looking at the graphs you're probably only hitting a brief spike to 80. Based on the graphs showing an average of 50 ish and the "average" reading from HWinfo this seems about right. For a laptop 80 on a quick CPU power spike is perfectly reasonable.
As to why if fluctuates and the fans are on... This will depend on what programs you have installed. Many times, certain programs are restricted from background tasks or slowed way down on battery power to, well, conserve battery. Once plugged in they are "free to go" so the usage of the CPU (and corresponding temps) will fluctuate based on what's running the background (think AV, cloud storage sync, etc.). Or may even just be normal system process being allowed a little more. Fan will entirely depend on how the fan profile for the laptop is set up. Might be able to find that in the BIOS.
Point is, temp and CPU usage fluctuations are totally normal for any computer and the behavior and temps you have are perfectly safe and normal.
