Do use cooling pad as laptops these days are too thin & compact for good cooling. Coolermaster U2/U3 has configurable fans to blow at the hottest spots.
Plus dont use on laps or carpet or lay on uneven places. Turn on battery saving features even if plugged in as it lower speeds (thus heat) and ramp if needed.

Get now lar. Can also use for the new laptop when you decide to buy wat. If powerful new laptop will likely have heating issues too

I would advice do more thorough study on reviews b4 buying. Good start is Notebookcheck where they also consider thermal issue & heat spots.

Trusting a brand to continuously making quality stuff isnt such a good idea, but its up to you. Id still advice you to go thru reviews so that you understand its quirks and you are happy with it before you take the plunge.
