It can differ from laptop to laptop, but generally getting to it is a process of turning off the PC, closing it, flipping it over, removing a few screws and then using basic logic to remove/clean the offending parts. For instance the laptop I am typing this on has a fan with heat pipes to a set of fins that a fan blows air through. Dust accumulates in the fins and one time even to the point that it made somewhat of a mat... not good. Laptops are PCs jammed into small confines, so yes cleaning them of dust and blockages is even more important that your spacious desktop IMO.
