Using a vacuum cleaner to clean the dust from your laptop would probably generate more static electricity than the system can handle. Use of an air compressor to blow the dust and dirt out is also ill advised. Components in laptop systems are generally not as physically durable as those in desktop systems. They have to be much lighter than their desktop counterparts. The concept of blowing the dust out with canned air is probably the best option that you have. Air will flow in both directions through the ventilation system in your portable. If the dust will not come out one way, try the other.
