    We really need more info in order to help you. What do you want your laptop to do for you? Gamer? Business app's? just an internet/email machine?

    I actually want it for Internet, little bit entertainment (Videos, Music). But on the other hand, I want to buy the best one of them, so what do you think?
    Which one is most powerful?!

    Well, I presume the prices are similar or comparable on all three notebooks. The CQ61-225EJ would offer the best performance considering it has 9200M conpared to the X4500 (CQ61-120EJ) and the X3100(Dell) along with 3GBRAM and 250GB HDD. However both Compaqs have the Pentium DC instead of the Core 2 Duo but that isnt necessarily a bad thing since they are both clocked a bit higher than the C2D, so cpu performance is going to be very similar. As far as battery life is concerned Dell and the CQ61-120EJ would be similar while the CQ61-225EJ would probably be a bit lower due to the faster nvidia graphics. If it was me I would gravitate towards the CQ61-225EJ.
