Well, I dont know how your laptop is, but on mine I pop the plastic around the air intake off (For me its my cpu/ram cover) and blow air into the vent from the outside so it pushes the dust back the way it came from, then I use a toothpick to tweeze the dust out of the fan (its more like lint from a dryer than dust)
Or if your one of the lucky few, your fan might be held to the heatsink assembly with a few small screws and you can remove the fan from the assembly and blow the dust out through the hole. Personally I find that an aircompressor that puts out 100psi+ works great for blasting the dust out without even having to open the laptop up.
