I'd like to use a second laptop for better check my stream/record. I check the estimator but it only suggests settings for one pc that run games and obs. Could I use a second laptop for OBS? If yes, what's requirements I need for? An i5 is ok? I'd like to use OBS with two webcams and blue yeti. I hope I'll find my solution here. Thanks ;)

Why not get a 2nd PC in a desktop format instead of a laptop?
As long as you have a somewhat decent GPU, you will see benefits for better CPUs. A quad core with hyperthreading i7 is "worth it" over an i5.
You do understand that you need a ~ $300 capture card if you use a 2nd laptop, right? This is one of the best USB 3.0 capture devices from what people say: https://solarisjapan.com/products/xcapture-1-usb-3-0-hd-capture-unit
You can do all this a lot better and cheaper if you get a desktop instead of a laptop as your streaming PC.
