I've got a question about notebook resolution. I'm about to buy my first notebook and I want full hd of course, but my finances are limited so I can't really afford to buy an expensive device, what I'm worried about is whether my notebook would lag with let's say 4GB RAM, 2GB graphic card and AMD A8 quadcore? Or would I be better of with 1366x768?

nothing lags anymore, especially with a GPU.

It should work smooth as long as you dont try to play modern idie games on it.

>2GB graphic card
I know you're memeing, but the fact that I have a 1GB grpahics card is the only thing keeping me from playing new games on my eight year old desktop.

I have a $100 laptop using a nehalem i5. I'm using the cpu graphics. I can play 1080p videos with room to spare. I only have a 1600x900 display but I assume that video decoding is still as difficult computationally regardless of the output resolution. I don't have hardware decoding for hevc encoded videos and I am still able to watch 1080p hevc encoded video while only tying up 30% of one core. That's with my processor running at a low clock to save power. i7z reports 1.4-1.6GHz clock speeds. My nominal clock is 2.66GHz and can turbo up to about 3GHz.
Unless you plan on running software that makes heavy use of the AVX instruction set or run video games 4GB of RAM and any i5 processor is plenty. If you're interested in video games try to find benchmarks for the particular graphics solution you're thinking of buying.
Note that if you're interested in running special filters in mpv to watch movies you'll need something more powerful than what I have.
