Zenbook as a streaming PC

[veimiK]

Hello. I believe this is a good place to write about this.

 

I've got a Zenbook Pro (specs in my sig) and I've recently got into streaming. I'm using Streamlabs OBS (I can switch to OBS if necessary) and I'd love to use my laptop for streaming in order to cut my desktop some slack. Is it possible with these specs? Would it make the stream look worse?

Should be doable. I think the CPU will do most of the work, but I could be dead wrong. You can always give it a shot? I'm assuming you've got a USB capture card?

Not yet, no. That's why I'm asking if it's worth it. I think I'll buy one though.

It should totally be fine as a streaming device.
