the laptop will thermal throttle if it needs to. You can lower settings/resolution if it makes you feel better

basically if the cpu gets too hot, the frequency will slow down so it produces less heat. It's a safeguard so that heat doesn't hurt the computer

You could limit  your CPU's max performance to keep it's temps down or just limit the fps in a game to 30fps on lower settings to keep it down as well

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
