Laptops are known to heat up more easily than Desktops. 46 degrees at idle is good. Besides you will know when it gets too hot, your laptop will shut down when it reaches critical temperature under load.

had an asus g73sw and it went to 90 one time, but thats because i was playing metro last light on highest possible settings for quite a while

i also left it on in my backpack accidentally in 100 degree heat. the screen was borked for like a minute but then turned on and was perfect again

Yes, it will, but that doesn't mean it's good for it to get that hot.

And a brute shutdown while the disk is writing isn't good at all.

Of course not but it's a damage proof system.

You can also program your fan speeds with it, although learning how is a little bit tricky for new users.
