150f isn't all that hot for a laptop. when it gets in the 210's you should start worrying.
 
at idle about 60 degree c, pushing it a bit it goes up to about 80...

Not done anything really hard on it yet though.

Doesn't get too warm though!
 
I'm just hoping that the I7 I'm getting wont reset (blank/black screen) whenever I'm trying to play demanding games under both osx/win7... both my late 2007 and late 2008 MBPs (8600GT and 9600GT) did that...

Was that due to buggy GPUs or overheating? I never could find out.
 
Well having just thrown it open to some non 64 bit chromakey rendering in FCP I struggled to get it above 83 degrees. Fans at 5000 rpm

I seriously doubt you'll get these things to massively overheat.
