This is kinda off topic but this is the best place to ask for

I think any 1080p modern laptop would work. A GPU is only really needed for gaming or rendering video desu.

This thread would be better here: >>>/g/

If my shitty laptop can play that shit then
I don't think you need to worry too much.

What's your laptop? And do you plug it on a 1080p screen? That's a big difference, I notice a huge difference with my shitty laptop between native 1366x768 and TV 1080p output

To decode EVERYTHING, you need to rely on CPU power.

All video cards have 8-bit H.264 decoder these days, so they are equal.

So I could buy a laptop with a decent CPU, a 2.3ghz core i5 for exemple, and be able to smoothly run 1080p Hi10p, even if it has integrated graphics? That's great news, I don't want to spend 1k on a gaming laptop

I really think any modern laptop will do just fine, since you already have gaming rig for
games, there is no need to also have a gaming laptop. So that means, you dont need
powerful gpu, only good processor and enough ram (nicely sized hdd also, if you don't have external one).
But that is what most do have nowadays anyway, you really don't need anything extreme for watching videos,
maybe watch for usb 3.0 if you are going to transfer videos between computers often.
You can always ask in the store that you want laptop for multimedia only/mostly and tell them these specs.

Only CoreAVC and the likes used general purpose 3D processing functionality to decode video. On modern market, the video decoder is an individual component that is sold by subcontractors as a whole, and is so widespread that it is integrated into every smartphone processor.

Also, in most notebooks, everything is “integrated” today.

The fixed circuitry and opaqueness means hardware can only decode a defined set of formats and can't be extended, though. More extensively programmable video decoder is possible, but it would be more expensive. Very little users need it, so no one bothers.
