OBS and livestream is choppy

Can any of you recommend a computer, preferably a laptop, that can handle everything I want to do?

… Using 2 cameras during the live stream, being able to project to the televisions, and even being able to play some videos during the live stream as needed, also be able to monitor the livestream on the internet so I would need multiple windows open, etc….
I recently used my new laptop to successfully live stream via OBS while vacationing at the beach. I used the laptop's webcam, phono lavalier mic, RadioDJ software for background music, VB-Cable software to compartmentalize audio from different apps on different virtual adapters, live monitoring/managing the stream via YouTube, plus a Vivaldi browser window for showing things in my stream. It worked perfectly. I did not have any external cameras nor was I projecting, but I doubt that would have overloaded it.
My laptop is an MSI GP75 Leopard 10SDK469 (Intel Core i7 10th Gen @ 2.60 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti w/ 6 GB video RAM, 16 Gb RAM, 1 TB SSD, 144 Hz display. Total purchase cost was $1393 from a NewEgg vendor. That specific model doesn't seem to be available anywhere, but here's one that's close.

Out of stock already. >D
But you're right: i7 10750H and a Turing-capable GeForce is a real workhorse for this.

Thanks everyone, I did get the new computer, and it fixed all my problems.

I am able to run multiple scenes with videos and pictures to display, run OpenLp (which I am still figuring out), livestreaming, sending displays to 3 different monitors, and running power point...I have had zero issues.

Upgrading the computer definitely did the trick.

Thanks again everyone.
