Changing computer name

How do I change my computer's name?
That is when I open device manager for example at the top it will read
<computer name> then the various hardware, when you send an email if you
look in that emails properties it give the name given to that computer.

It's just that I have just got a secondhand laptop that some joker has given
a rather obscene name that needs to be changed :-)
