I've been using a Toshiba A100 since 2005 almost constantly everyday, and I think it's time for an upgrade.

I've been out of touch with laptops but I wanted to know is how quiet are new laptops these days, especially ones running i5 or i7 processors?

It's hard to determine this at the computer stores because there is always so much ambient noise. I'd like a computer that can be left on and not be noisy. My current laptop is a bit too noisy to be left on when I'm sleeping.

Also, what are the heat levels like? My laptop runs fairly not in the summer, the palmrest can get pretty warm..
