Cooling pad or Laptop stand

I'm thinking about getting an aluminum laptop stand for my Asus TUF A15 gaming laptop (2.2 kg). I currently have a plastic stand from my brother, but it can't support the weight of the laptop and fall with my laptop facing back. Would an aluminum stand, which looks similar to the plastic one, be strong enough? Or would it be better to buy a cooling pad for the same price? I’d prefer a stand since it's more portable.
