Does the fan even spin up at idle? There's a good chance that it's intentionally letting the temps get up that high for the sake of battery life. It takes energy to run that fan, after all.
I was just going to say this. And we also need to take into account that this is a true quad-core i7, not the normal i7 that comes in most laptops which is really an i3 with an i7 badge stuck on it. Idle temps are never something I'm concerned about, because every manufacturer handles their idle fan curve differently. All that matters is that it isn't overheating under load.
