All laptops oveheat at any given point in their life-cycles unfortunately. An acquantaince of mine's laptop lasted a few months, a high end $2000 HP. Overheated like a mofo. Apples overheat very often and I've even seen toshibas, acers, dells etc etc etc.
The problem is for the amount of space allotted inside a laptop there is not enough room to efficiently cool multi-core cpus, upgraded gpus and most chipsets.
Cooling mats are a good help but only if there are intake vents underneath near where the cooling mat's fans blow. If in incorrect spot, overheating can be worse!
My best advice to anyone is never place on any surface that is not hard. No laps, no beds, no pillows and no carpets. Also if a lap placement is a must get one of those polyester raised stands. Kind of looks like a coat hanger wire frame wrapped in stiff/hard fabric. Blow the vents out periodically with compressed air as well.
