When my MacBook Pro (Apple doesn't use the term "laptop") is not "on 
the road" I keep it on a cooling stand which has several small fans for 
improving the circulation of air around the base of the computer. When 
my MacBook Pro was at home it was continuously on and I never 
experienced (at least to my awareness) any problem with overheating.

My iMac, current generation, is also on all the time and I don't feel 
any part of it that has any significant overheating.
