    I take it since you live in Egypt you deal with high ambient temps. I can suggest two options:

    1) Buy four school size erasers. Place one at each corner of your laptop. This will lift the laptop and allow air to circulate underneath. It will help with cooling.

    2) Look into a laptop cooler.
