Hey everyone. I dont know much about computers (just basics) and I would really appreaciate your help I currently have a Compaq Presario R3306 and it doesnt meet my needs anymore, so I am looking for a new laptop. I am looking for something powerfull, that doesnt give off a lot of heat or noise. I will do some traveling, but it will be mostly for home use. My gaming needs are light, however I do have a game called Football Manager 2006 which needs a very fast processor to let it run smootly.
