HP Zbook and 4k video

I am looking at buying a  HP Zbook 15 Gen2 with the Intel i7-4800MQ 2.7GHz CPU with Nvidia Quadro K1100M Video Card.   I will be installing a 1tb ssd into anything i buy and 16gb of ram. 

Is this CPU/GPU combo able to play back and edit 4k video? (sony a6500 and goPro hero5 cameras)  or will I get better performance out of run of the mill ultrabook with a 7th gen i7 7200u with an nvidia 900 series gpu?    more cores older gen, vs new gen less cores is the basic question. 

My usual workflow is 10 min gopro videos 2 lays of video, titles  and a 2 layers of audio exported to h.264. 

This will be the edit videos in the hotel room system and not a primary machine so cheap but effective.

Here's the deal:

"Newer" isn't always "better". In fact, no dual-core CPU of a given CPU generation is as powerful as a quad-core hyperthreadable CPU that's three generations older.

What's more, that GeForce 900 series that's in your planned i5-7200U (there is no i7-7200U in existence; I think you meant either the i5-7200U or the i7-7500U) notebook may be a weakling, with only about the same number of CUDA cores as your current Quadro K1100M but using extremely lousy, molasses-slow DDR3 graphics RAM instead of the GDDR5 graphics RAM that the K1100M uses.
