Believe me, I understand--I had a laptop for years, and still prefer the convenience of one. (Currently typing from a Surface, which I'm grateful to have or I'd be out a computer until EVGA gets my card sorted.) The desktop was built out of sheer desperation and multiple failed laptops. If I had to go back now, I think I'd spec one of the nicer Razer Blades, based on reviews. (Only because I had so much trouble with Alienware's proprietary back-up software after the final crash.)
Fans can definitely help, I'd say I got several extra months out of my laptop with one. Needed a heavy one because the laptop was, and it was a pain to find one blowing in the right direction (all the cheap Targus ones, for example, would've fought the fans), but definitely worth it.
And yes, absolutely, if your computer is "your thing" (it is mine, I practically live on it), it's a worthwhile investment. I hope your current one holds out until you can get one you like :)
