I'm new to laptops, having recently bought one strickly for work use, but if I were going to use mine for gaming, I would get a laptop cooling pad. I've been reading about them on newegg, but don't really have a reason to get one at this point. Still, I've noticed the fans intake air from the bottom of my Sony and send it out the left side. Sitting the laptop on my lap, or even on the couch...that probably isn't good for it because the air can't really get into the laptop like that. If I don't get a cooler, I need to at least get a pad of some kind to give it a hard surface so there is a bit of space to bring in air.
