Hi guys.
Planning on getting a MSI GE60 Apache pro.
My usage will be photo editing and playing dota 2 / BF4.

Been reading Apache Pro dedicated owners lounge, and it seems the main issue is heat.
The solutions offered by many users go from getting a cooler pad to applying good quality thermal paste (i will be doing both).

Even after this workarounds, the CPU gets around ~90C and so the GPU, under full load.

I can live with the laptop body being warm, because i mainly game at home with wireless keyboard.
My main concern is, if this temperature on my system for 3-4 hours straight a day, will significantly cause damage?
I know gaming laptops will get hot, and also know that heat is the worst electronics enemy, but i'm concerned on possibly dramatically reducing my laptops overall "health".

Also, will lowing the details on stressing games, save me some degrees on the system?

Thanks in advance for your comments.
PS: Sorry for the english.
 


I do need the portable system, so desktop is off the table.

 


Laptops biggest enemy is overheating and i dont see any awesome cooling system in MSI ge60 apache pro. If laptop is your only option then why not buy an alienware.
 
Alienware is way out of my budget now.
The choices i have are MSI GE60 Apache Pro and Acer VN7-791G Black Edition (which i've read is much cooler).
I'm trying to realize if the daily ~90C temps are really that bad as says in theory.
Everybody talks about the heat, the danger that it causes, etc; but rarely i read about their systems breaking down, frying or things like that.
