There are little coolers for lap tops, Chill pads, or something they are called. They plug into a USB port and run off the computer's power, not required to plug it into the wall. I have found for about $30. at Staples, and other places that sell computer goodies, Best Buy, Office Max, etc. etc. etc. The one I have had pretty good luck with is Targus Notebook Chill Mat.

I have had to replace a couple after a year or two, but, they do help keep your computer cooler, the internal fan will not run as much with the cooler working, and if you do like to balance on your lap, at least your legs won't be toast.

I have never had a computer shut down from excess heat tho, with or without the chill Pad. (hope I did not curse myself with that "never" statement)
