Don't scoff:  I thought I had a problem because, in the 35degC conditions I work in, the fan was NOT running often.  I had the lapramps for the two laptops for ergonomic reasons, didn't realise at the time how effective they were for keeping the temperature down.  No moving parts, no electronics, just airflow - and cheap!
