Laptops for streaming

[Guest]

Does anyone have experience with straming via Livestream studio? I'm looking for a cheap laptop to run the stream. I tried to run it on my Zenbook UX303 (i7 5500U, 8 gb, Geforce 940M) it ran without any problems. While i was testing it the nvidia gpu was on 0% and it was using only the integrated intel... Now i need to find a second laptop to conect 2 mevo cameras and a few audio inputs. My budget is about 400-500$ and the battery life and the build quality don't matter but i would like the laptop to be "futureproof"....i want to use it for at least 3-4 years. Do i need a dedicated graphics card for streaming?

Usually livestream on a laptop with Shadowplay instead. CPUs on laptops are weak enough, streaming through CPU power while doing other stuff (not even games) just gives me lags.

I would recommend the Dell Inspiron 3000 series. It has a Core i3 7100U, 8GB of ram, an 180GB SSD, and a ton of I/O.

I need to do it with livestream studio. It wont be running anything else except chrome and ill use the 2 mevo camers (720p cant get better upload speed), eventually a prerecorded video and a microphone as sources.

Thanks. Ill try running a few tests with my laptop before buying since it's a dual core and the minimal requirements according to livestream.com should be a quad core i5 with quicksync.
