Question / Help Recommended Sys Req to stream with a Live Gamer Portable (720p) to Twitch?

[drewlynoted]

Pretty much my title.

My gaming rig died and I have little time to fix it (gonna take awhile).

In the meantime, I want to at least get a laptop to stream my console games.

Unfortunately I am based in the US. Thank you for the recommendation though.

At the very least I can search for a laptop with similar specs.

Anyone know the actual recommended specs? I'm not looking to break the bank here as I want to also fix my rig.

Definitely a quad core i7 as far as laptops go. The mobile i5 CPUs are all dual core chips (as are some of the i7s, so be careful), which are best avoided for streaming.

Personally, I wouldn't waste money on a laptop... I'd spend my money fixing my rig.

Thank you. Will definitely keep an eye out for that.

Same, but I need to consider it given that I want an immediate solution to be able to stream.
