Question / Help Delicated Live Streaming Laptop

[DarrenRainey]

Hello I am looking at some cheap laptops on ebay with 2nd generation i5's and I was wondering if these would be good enough to capture input from a capture card and livestream it at 720p 60fps or 1080p 30fps

Nope. You'd need newer and/or i7 if you're going laptop for that.

Mobile i5 might do 720p30 depending on the exact model.
But for laptops you usually want to go for an i7 with the (H)Q extension which are the only real quad cores.
