Hi there,

I am new to OBS and my current laptop is not coping.

I am running:
  • OBS,
  • Rode Connect,
  • 2x iphone webcams using iVcam,
  • 2x NT USB mini mikes,
  • I also play pre-recorded mp4 video via HDMI to an ouput monitor, and save the same video into a scene.
My current laptop is a Lenovo E580 mid spec from 2018.

Can anyone advise or direct me to info on comfortable specs for a new machine?

I am looking at sticking with Lenovo since i use it for work as well, and a P16 Gen2 offers the following options:

i7-14700HX Processor
OR
i9-13980HX Processor

32 GB DDR5-5600MT/s (SODIMM) - (2 x 16 GB)
OR
64 GB DDR5-5600MHz (SODIMM) - (4 x 16 GB)

NVIDIA RTX™ A1000 Laptop GPU 6GB GDDR6
OR
NVIDIA RTX™ 2000 Ada Generation Laptop GPU 8GB GDDR6

1 TB SSD M.2 2280 PCIe Gen4 TLC Opal

Thanks in advance,
Grayman
