Hey guys, I’m planning on buying a laptop (Probably HP DV6) and I’m contemplating whether I should get the1080P. (768 looks pretty bad on a 15.4 screen IMO) I will be using this laptop for Photo editing, web design & gaming. I Really would love to have a 1080P screen but I’m just worried about gaming performance. I could run the games at a lower resolution but wouldn’t that be taxing on the GPU because it wouldn't be native? Could I just run games in window mode and alleviate any performance losses due to running at 1080P or running a non native resolution?

I’m not concerned with the additional cost because I actually need to upgrade the laptop to be over 1000 to use my 30% off coupon

Anyone have any ideas or wisdom to share?
 
Yeah, games on a laptop would take a huge hit playing at 1080, since the fastest laptop GPU is a little less powerful than a desktop AMD 6850. I do not think there will be a performance hit if you're not playing it at the native resolution. So just play the games at a less resolution, and for all your other work, have it at 1080.
