For those who stream chess on twitch - what specs do you have?

Would any typical 2019-2020 i7 processor laptop with 8-16GB of RAM be sufficient to play and stream chess at the same time, with Twitch Chat, Spotify, webcam, etc running at the same time?

Would i5 be sufficient? Does Graphics cards matter?

Would a typical consumer laptop be fine or would you need a gaming-centric laptop?

Thanks! But I don’t think this touches on tech spec, more software and recommended mics, etc.

I’m needing to buy a laptop and want to make sure it has sufficient processor, memory and graphics capabilities.

Best computer for the money is probably an M1 MacBook Air with 16 gb RAM at the moment. It would do just fine for streaming and editing clips together and such. You would probably want to get an ultra wide monitor to go with it for the multi-tasking capabilities it represents.
