Re: Hot laptop
Depending on the laptop the fan just comes out for a clean. My Inspiron 8600 if you unscrew the fan it just falls out and you can clean the dust out away from the machine.

What surface are you using the machine on. If you are using it on your lap, then it will overheat as the passive cooling relies on it being on a hard surface where the rubber pads support it and allow a clear airflow (even if it is a 30C airflow) to pass under the PC. Put it on your lap and your legs prevent that.
