Your system can easily heat up if you just place it on a flat surface and you can use it for a long time and just forget about this aspect. In order to assure a longer life and to use your laptop for longer periods of time without worrying about this aspect, you should consider some laptop coolers.

Some laptop coolers are made out of plastic, some of metal and aluminum as well, you should choose the one that increases the cooling power and which has the fans positioned in such way that protects the exact places your laptop gets hot. And last, but not least, like it happens everywhere, design should be taken in account. You will be looking at the cooler every time you use the laptop, so it should be attractive and not to make you want to shut down the system and move on to something else.
