Maybe. I didn't look very much, but I wasn't immediately repulsed either.
If you MUST use a laptop, look for a "Mobile Workstation". They're thick and heavy because they have an actual cooling system! And Lenovo does make some.
Most laptops are designed so much to be portable, that they rely on thermal mass for cooling, and can't actually keep cool with a continuous high load like OBS needs. They have good specs on paper, and they'll load something quickly, but then they really need to sit and do nothing but cool off while the user looks at it.
Live video production doesn't give it that opportunity to cool off, so without a good cooling system that can actually keep up with a full load indefinitely, it'll hit a maximum temperature and slow down to protect itself. Then the stream suddenly falls apart.
So that's the thing to be an absolute stickler for above everything else. Not the CPU or GPU or RAM, although they're important too, but the cooling system. Can it keep the published specs *indefinitely*? Or will it throttle back in the middle of the stream and effectively kill it then?
Like I said, Lenovo does make some Mobile Workstations that *can* in fact keep up, but not *everything* they make is that. Make sure you know what you're getting.
