Laptop overheating - is it true?

Posted by 49ers on Jun 14, 2011

I heard that If you use your notebook like a desktop machine, i.e. intensively all-day sitting on a desk for example, it might overheat, which eventually will ruin the performance and possibly something even worse might happen.

Is it true and should I get a cooling pad or something just to be safe?
Also, what's the easiest way to get it occasionally cleaned from the dust? Vacuuming the fan grill?

Pretty much yes. I was going to buy one a couple of days ago, but when i tried it in the store it produced low volume of air which made me turn my back on these things. There may be 1-5 degrees difference which is not much of improvement.
