This one has the fastest GPU:

This one has a dual core that runs faster per core rather than the quad core in the above laptop:

I honestly don't know what kind of battery times these laptops have. When it comes to laptops this is one of the most important aspects you can look for (at least for me).

What is GPU and which one would u recommend I don't care about battery life but on the speed of the labtop

[SchmoSalt]

GPU is short for Graphical Processing Unit. It means the graphics card. If you want the fastest laptop out of the ones you specified gaming wise and don't care about battery life go for this one:

But wouldnt either the 2nd or 3rd choice be better because it has a better graphics card and higher processing :[

The one I said you should get was the second one. It has an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5730 which is faster than the NVIDIA GeForce 310M.

But doesn't the processing count too :[

In games that only use 2 cores, performance will not be much different. In games that use more than 2 cores, performance will actually be better on the i7.

 

CPUs aside, from the benchmarks listed on that site, the 5730 is about 105.5% faster than the 310M. You will notice a significant different in how games run between the two GPUs. Even if there is some minor bottleneck due to the CPU cores not being as fast, the performance awarded from the 5730 will still make the i7 laptop faster than the i5 laptop while running a 2 core or less game.

 

Basically, get the i7 laptop.

Except this labtop which is not the 310m graphic card one was benchmarked with a higher graphics card so wouldn't higher processing and higher graphics be better?

Hmm, for some reason I was thinking that had the same 310M. The 360M GTS is faster than the 5730. Get that then.
