I am more of a desktop person and I know the temperature thresholds for them and what would be acceptable temps for full load and idle, from what I understand laptops are not even supposed to be in situations where the processor is at full load for long periods of time, by that logic I assume that a non high performance laptop that can sustain prime95 on a blanket where most of the air intakes are covered up and still have temps that are still a good 10-25C below the shut off point would be perfectly acceptable for daily use and mid-low end gaming

If your laptop sports a dedicated graphics card, you'll want to check that also but I would think you'll be okay. I will (as I always do) encourage the use of a laptop cooling pad especially for extended periods of gaming - even more so with a dedicated graphics card.
