A good trick is to assemble a handful of beer caps and place them as a foundation for the laptop. That way air can cool even the bottom plate. I developed this routing back when using a China built Zelda centrino that had its cooler fan air output at the bottom, meaning that if you put it on a table the table will block the output of heat. Funny that someone can make such a design mistake. I still do it with Macbooks and MBPs today, even though these lappies have their cooler fan air output at the rear side. Make sure nothing is located on the table right behind the Mac's lid to block that output.
