For sure if you use it in bed the fan will be full of crap. Anything to relieve the fan being blocked is good but you need to clean it out now and not use it till you have, it will only go worse. -

Biscuit tin lid!
you know, like what you mum used to get at christmas. a big metal tin of crackers or biscuits - grab the lid off that and sit it on it. gives space away from the duvet AND acts like a heaksink.
cheap as you like but worksComment

well i live in greece as you know, and i use an akasa notebook cooler and it works really well, works off the usb but unless your plugged in to mains your battery wont last very long. it has an angled base with 2 fans and its not very expensive. if it works here i guess it will work ok in the uk. hope this helps. by the way i have an hp lappy and its fine on this.

Go into your local ASDA and into the home and leasure section, look at all the pc gear and right next to the screen cleaner stuff will be a can of air.
This will set you back a fiver or thereabouts, get one and toss the straw to one side, turn off the lappy and just blow that shit straight into the vents to blow out almost everything inside.
you wont believe the muck that will come out of the vents.
Whilst in ASDA go to the produce section and talk to whomevers working and tell them you want a "banana box" hell know what your on about.
Hell hand you a THICK cardboard box with a hole in the bottom (ideal for allowing airflow) just cut out some "leg grooves" and sit that over your legs then plant the lappy on that.
Been using the same box now for well over a year and theyre built sturdy as mate.
I do most of my surfing in bed and the box lets me house my laptop, an ashtray and a few canscustom built for me to be honest and completely comfortable as it rises the lappy off the bed and up to eyelevel.

THE TRUTH
The Hillsborough Independent Panel. 12/09/12
Today's report is black and white.The Liverpool fans were not the cause of the disaster.
The panel has quite simply found 'no evidence' in support of allegations of 'exceptional levels of drunkenness, ticketlessness or violence among Liverpool fans' and 'no evidence that fans had conspired to arrive late at the stadium' and 'no evidence that they stole from the dead and dying'.Comment

Or you could use a lap tray, the kind you eat your tea from in front of the TV.
Padded underneath to fit the contour of your legs.Comment

Cost of a lap tray vs a free banana box and some gaffa tape?
Ive got lap tray thing, like a tea tray with a beanbag stapled to the bottom of it its too small for my laptop though
All i will say is im sitting in complete comfort, typing away. Safe in the knowledge that it cost me absoloutly nowt
