Overheating Laptop

[LaptopLaptops]

I need advice on which laptop to buy. My laptop is constantly overheating even though I make sure to let the air circulate. I've been reading several other threads about overheating laptops, but I can't seem to find just the right answer, so I'm going to try to get some good answers.

Additional Details:
I have an HP laptop (unfortunately I don't know much else about the laptop) and I use a cooling pad to help lessen the likelihood of it overheating and shutting down constantly. But it isn't very effective, and it keeps overheating.
It overheats even if I just simply try to stream some videos on YouTube, play movies, or play some games. I mostly use my laptop to stream and watch videos online, but it just keeps overheating. I once visited a friend of mine and we both used her laptop, and it didn't even overheat once throughout a 2-hour movie. Mine wouldn't even last 30 minutes. If I recall correctly, I think it was an Acer.

I don't know what to do about this overheating issue. I've cleaned out the dust, use it on a cooling pad, and many more methods. I even went to Best Buy (where I bought my HP laptop) and asked them to try and fix the problem, but all of the materials needed cost too much money, and I didn't find it necessary to spend so much on fixing a laptop when I can use it to buy a new one.

So, what laptop do you recommend? I don't really care about the size, as long as it isn't too small to watch videos and movies. Do you recommend Acer, like my friend has? I'm willing to spend up to $1000 on a good laptop with fair temperature. But I don't think HP will do it for me.

Go with asus K-series laptops, they're great and cost half your budget lol. If all you do is watch/stream movies,than I think you should definitely go with Asus K-series.

^ Agreed. Or you can kick it up and go with the G-Series for ultimate cooling, CPU power and GPU power.
