Buying a new laptop. Any advice?

[mira_leo]

I'm not tech-savvy at all so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't plan to use the laptop for gaming, just for camming and photo editing.
Price range: $800-$1200

Thanks!

I bought a gaming desktop for the better graphics card and sound card and a lower CPU usage percentage while broadcasting. It's a dream when up and running.

I like portability and don't really have the place for a proper set up so it's gotta be a laptop...

I realize I did not complete my thought before hitting post, I was thinking about what I wanted to wear tonight ha.

If portability is a concern, a gaming laptop is what I would buy. They're in your price range and you'll appreciate the quality especially if using OBS.

In that price range I would recommend the Acer Predator Helios 33 it has great performance at a reasonable price and with the GTX 1660 Ti graphics card you will be able to use the NVENC encoder for streaming with OBS.

Looks great but I think it doesn't ship to my country...

I bought a $ 1400 gaming PC, it really works for me to transmit play and everything! It is spectacular!
PD: buy the parts and assemble

I'm too dumb for that lol


I ended up buying a Dell G3 with Intel Core i5 and 8 GB RAM for under $900. I'm completely happy. I'm not a gamer so I think anything more equipped than that would have been overkill for my purposes.
Thank you to everybody who gave me their advice I really appreciate it!
