Playing games at non native resolution

Ok so I just bought a new laptop here are the specs:

• 16.4" widescreen with XBRITE-FullHD™ LCD technology (1920x1080)
• 320GB SATA Hard Disk Drive [7200 rpm]
• ATI Mobility Radeon™ HD4650 graphics card with 1GB vRAM
• Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor P8700 (2.53GHz)
• Blu-ray Disc™ playback
• 4GB DDR2-SDRAM (DDR2-800, 2GBx2)

Now I plan on playing some games on this laptop(not high graphics settings) but the problem is the screen resolution. Since laptops are not good gaming platforms to begin with playing at 1080p would probably be impossible. So this means I will have to play on non native resolution. Since the laptop screen is 16:9 does this mean that 720p would look normal? Also how bad is it to play games without using native resolution? thanks

There's an option in control center to only use the amount of pixils on the screen if it becomes blurry at non native res.
