    Coolmats are what idiots use when the fan has blocked because they can't be bothered to get the laptop fixed. Using a coolmat on a perfectly working laptop will actually CAUSE damage as it is pushing air at the internal fan thus REDUCING its efficiency.

    Get a can of compressed air, commonly known as an air duster, and once a month blast it through the vents on the laptop to blow the dust out of the heatsinks
