  • Laptop recommendations?

    We do live streaming via a laptop. We stream in HD and need a very fast processor for sure. I am not sure how important the graphics card is in this but maybe a dedicated one would be best. I had purchased an HP laptop with an i7 quad core in it and a 950 GTX but for some reason it just could not handle the HD coming in as it would almost max out the CPU during our stream and would not work properly. The HP envy that I had said it was a dedicated GPU but it would also work with the CPU too. Can anyone point me in the right direction of a good high powered laptop that would be great for HD streaming? Thanks.

    These are some I am looking at. If anyone can tell me why these are not good choices I will always listen.
    Amazon.com: ASUS ROG GL552VW-DH74 15-Inch Gaming Laptop, Discrete GPU GeForce GTX 960M 4GB VRAM, 16GB DDR4, 1TB, 128GB SSD (ROG Metallic): Computers & Accessories

    Amazon.com : ASUS ZenBook Pro UX501VW 15-Inch Ultra-HD 4K Touchscreen Laptop (Intel Skylake Core i7-6700HQ CPU, 16 GB DDR4, 512 GB NVMe SSD, Nvidia GTX960M GPU, Thunderbolt III, Windows 10 Cortana Premium) : Computers & Accessories

    Amazon.com: Dell Inspiron i7559-7512GRY 15.6 Inch UHD Touchscreen Laptop (6th Generation Intel Core i7, 16 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD + 128 GB SSD) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M: Computers & Accessories

    Alienware 15 Gaming Laptop | Dell

    The deal is as I was experimenting with it I went back and used a 3 yr old Dell i5 dual with 4gb of memory and no dedicated graphics card. It actually performed as well if not better than the new HP Envy i7 Quad core with a dedicated GTX 950 in. The HP falters when streaming and doing graphics so it already needs to be replaced. It is not faulty so I can't send it back but I have found someone to buy it that will not need it for this purpose so I'm not out a whole lot of money. The architecture of the HP just must not be conducive to the HD stream and the program called Producer from PlayOn Sports. Any more input would be appreciated.
