I have two identical laptops lined up, the only difference is the 1366x768 or 1920x1080 resolution.

1920x1080: http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834314534
(http/www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834231960 is another 1920x1080p option for Asus users)
I understand that there's a large difference in quality on a 1080p laptop, believe me - it's a selling point. I'll be using this laptop for school (university) and gaming. I figure if I buy a laptop, it might as well allow me to game on the go. No suggestions for desktops, please!
Here's the caveat: Since they both have the same graphics card, which would be best for gaming? I consider games "playable" at 30+ FPS on high-ish settings (I turn shadows down, who needs high shadows?). Here are my main questions:
1) Is the 1920x1080 THAT much better than the 720p counterpart?
2) Won't playing games on the 1080p resolution create a significant FPS drop?
3) Would the increased resolution make up for lower settings? (ex: medium on 1080p, high-ultra on 720p)
4) If I had a 1080p laptop (the second one, the 54L9 model) and lowered a game's resolution to 1366x768, would it look similar and run similar to me playing a 1366x768 game on a 1366x738 native-resolution laptop (the first one, the 54S6 model)?
Thanks for the info, there's a lot of information that can be answered in one single post here - I've been searching forums all day for these answers!
GAMES TO CONSIDER: *WoW: Warlords of Draenor (40-50+ FPS is a must on high-ultra)*, Diablo 3, Bioshock Inifinite, The Witcher, Neverwinter, DayZ standalone, Borderlands 2, etc.
