81C is not that bad. I've had laptops get up to 100C with no permanent damage. Of course, different processors have different die temperatures. What kind of processor was in it?

Intel Pentium Dual-Core Mobile Processor T2330

Like Techie Moe said. I wouldn't sweat it to much. My Panasonic Toughbook CF-48 with a Pentium M processor will spike out and temps will jump (90c) depending How hard I am tasking it, and this laptop is ooooooold. But it still chugs along. So I wouldn't fret too much.

Most manufacturers probably realize that we, the customer, are gonna work our hardware pretty hard. So they make it where you can get some high temps without having to worry about it.
