- External fans don't cool a laptop at all
- Laptops can only cool when their air-INTAKE isn't blocked by cloth like sheets in the bed
- How old is the laptop?
- Mini refrigerator might be a hassle in a bed, unless it's somehow locked to the laptop itself
I would advise:
- Try cleaning the laptop fan internally + apply new cooling paste (Arctic MX-4 preferred) - Don't start if you never done this before
- Try preventing air-INTAKE block by cloth
- Get a small airco, and let it blow towards you and your laptop
I'll go with Devil and recommend these actions, if any. A normal laptop should not overheat during normal usage (as in using normal programs on the computer without altering the settings and elements inside of the laptop), so either there's something going on in it, or it's a very old laptop. So either get it checked or get a new one.
