For:
1.) DELL, go in for DELL XPS 1530: It has 8xxx series of gpu (graphics card) the XPS series has a Matt type of body finish (wich is NOT glossy and hence looks free of fingerprint marks) and u/ur friend can customise the configuration to suit ur needs..

2.) In HP, u can go in for teh DV series, as they hv 9xxx series of gpu (graphics card) wich is better then the 8xxx series (provided by DELL XPS series) so gaming wud be alot better also the graphics..

but its wont be as stylish as the DELL XPS//
although (as far as i remember) the HP's (new line of lappys) hv a sort of carbon fibre body casing and an illuminated "HP" logo at the top (back) surface of the lappy wich looks good.
3.) Sony Vaio series hv a glossy body finish, so finger prints can be seen easily, and u will hv to constantly polish the body to get rid of the finger marks..
