 Don’t cover your laptop heat outlet

Make sure there are no obstructions for the hot air coming from the heat outlet/exhaust. Particularly don’t use your laptop for elongated times on soft bed or mattress. Also it is a very good idea to clean your laptops heat outlets once in a while.
Usually laptop heat outlets are on the sides and back.

Keep Off The Lap

Though the name Laptop means a system that is portable and can use by keeping on our laps, don’t use it all the time. When you keep your laptop on your laps, there is no space left between the bottom surface of the laptop and your lap. Every laptop have little risers at the bottom and so keeping the laptop on some flat surface (probably, a table) can give it some space letting air move in and out. When there is no space left between the laptop’s bottom and the surface, the chances of heating and pretty much high.

Work In Shade

Although laptops are meant to be portable and can be easily carried anywhere, you must remember not to keep your laptop in sun. When you aren’t working, leave your laptop in shade (away from window) or in a cool place. And one more thing in this summer, don’t ever leave your laptop in your car. Cars are hot inside as most of the times, they’re in sun. And if you leave, make sure you give some time to get it cooled before starting your work.

Air-Conditioned Environment

Like I already said, Air-conditioned work places help in keeping the laptop or your desktop cool. Most of the offices are air-conditioned these days, so are the homes. But of you are out, try to search for an air-conditioned environment or get one installed.

Shut Down When Not In Use

When you have completed working on your laptop, shut it down. Keeping your laptop awake for much more time can resulting in heating up your laptop. So when you plan to get away from your laptop even for a while, shut it down and then start it again when you need.
All these above written tips are meant to keep your laptop cool and especially in summer where the chances of heating up are high.
Tip: When you are about to perform cpu intensive tasks like high resolution image or video editing, shut down the pc and let it cool and then do your work. The lost time in shutdown process is definitely compensated with the responsiveness of the system.
