Is there a substantial difference? This is a development laptop so I only cared about it being able to push enough pixels.

Perhaps there's a difference for gamers?

Largely depends on whether you want 3D performance or not (that's not only for gamers). The performance/watt ratio is significantly higher on Pascal.
