There are a wide variety of resolutions available on different laptops on the market. But which screen resolutions are better for gaming?
Is Full HD (1920×1080) the best? Are there any resolutions one should avoid?

If your laptop is primarily for gaming, I would get the highest resolution screen you can afford with at least a resolution of 1920x1080, with the performance that can back up 1920x1080 at native. If your budget doesn't permit that price/screen/performance matrix consider a more affordable laptop with a 1366x768 native screen.
If your laptop is for more than just gaming, I would get at least a 1920x1080 screen. If the laptop can't handle the games at native then run your games at lower resolution. This has the effect of a bit of blur in the upscale to native, but you also don't sacrifice your productivity with non-gaming tasks.
I would suggest reviewing all of the different opinions that have collected on this question to get well rounded advice.
