You can just blow a fan on it as well. If your laptop gets too hot it will just start shutting off by itself and will make you do a system restore because it won't allow itself to turn on anymore. I wish I would have known how shitty laptops were before I bought one. It's weird because it seems to work better, and be quicker than my old desktop, but if I leave it on and don't turn it off and it overheats it fucks up for half the day I end up spending the day restoring it. Or maybe it's just Toshiba is a piece of crap?
