The HP will be the strongest gamer with the best GPU of all of them.

The Lenovo will be the most reliable/durable. I don't know why you'd think otherwise.

The Dell has the worst GPU and will be the worst for gaming. The Lenovo is a decent mix of CPU/GPU power, and the HP is a bit unbalanced with the AMD processor, IMO.

The resolution you'll be playing with will be low enough to where I don't think it will matter.

I bought 29Q.
There is big difference between 29q and 34q. 29q have gt 130m and 34q g105m. gt 130m is much better graphics card than 105m. the price difference is not much so 29q will be a better choice

some new thing man.. both r comin with 130M right now. 29Q is higher priced cause it comes with 64bit vista n has 3yrs service package.. u think we ll need 64bit vista?
34Q with 32bit vista is priced Rs.3000 lower
