Hi,
currently i'm using a Macbook Pro 2017 with an Intel i7 Quad 2.8 Ghz with a Magewell USB Capture HDMI Gen 2 for streaming.
I plan to change the system (has to be portable) to a Laptop (with windows) with an i5-8250U CPU (the reason for this CPU is that i think the price / performance is quite good because it's a real Quadcore CPU) and would like to know if that's sufficient for the job.
My settings:
Input: 50fps, full HD
Output: 25fps, full HD, 8mbps
OBS studio is using about 50% CPU for this on my Mac.

It would be great if anybody here who is using a system with a i5-8250U CPU could start a stream with these settings and tell me how much % of the CPU is used.

so you want to stream from a train or car? Or why would you ever even consider buying a laptop for streaming while thinking about price/performance?

Because i will regularly carry it around (not using it in a car, but taking it to different locations)
I'm fully aware that i could get a regular PC with the same performance for half the price, but that's not really an option.
