Go pro and older laptop

A question with regards to the new Go Pro 4

I have a few memory cards now that record in 4k for my new Go Pro 4. works fine on my new macbook i7 which is 6 months old
Over the weekend I went to a event and used the Go pro set to 1080p and 80 FPS mode.

Went to view the footage on my 3-4 year old Sony laptop running Windows 7 and has a i5 processor. tried on VLC, Go pro software and Windows player but all of them results in jerky video. I know it's not the memory cards but surprised it's down to the Laptop. The sound would be fine but the video would not keep up and jump to a few seconds later and so on

The same video works fine on the mac.

Would anything think the Sony laptop is just to old to run 1080p at 80FPS

I would just like to understand why it's not working correctly

So most probably just the Sony laptop is not man enough for the newer Go Pro footage. Understood and glad I have the choice to use the Mac

If I were to guess, I'd say it's the 80fps that's causing it a problem. Can you try it at 30 or 60fps and see if you have the same issue?

I'll give the lower frame rate a try next time out.

yup mines to old to managed the higher res. Seems I won't be using my old laptop for editing or even viewing the highter res videos now I have upgraded from the Go Pro 1 to 4
