I know it's my laptop cus i tried playing the videos on my pc at work and they came out fine with little to no choppiness.

This is my laptop specs:

Is it choppy because it can't handle the video? Are there any more settings I can tweak so that I can watch the vids on my laptop? I haven't had too much time to play around. It's not too big of a deal but it'd be nice if i can get the vids to play smoothly.
maybe something to do with the codec? try using different media player (e.g. media player classic)

and try updating your graphic drivers.

I have a 2008 laptop with 1.4GHZ SU9400 cpu and it can play 1080p fine, so I think it has more to do with the software than hardware.
