IF you are recording locally, and like that quality, but upload and stream and don't like that quality. it is with livestreaming, and the need for consistent throughput and low jitter that WiFi is problematic If you are recording locally, and uploading (not livestreaming), then WiFi is a non-issue (sort of) as jitter/latency aren't a factor. It is likely asking which car is best, or will it work? You can set up OBS to overwhelm a $5K workstation tower with liquid cooling, or you could stream fine on a sub $1K laptop. Then try - note I specifically said 1650 Super (which is Turing) or higher.

Adjust settings (asking for help in the Mac forum as required) until you are happy with recorded video quality.

you've been warned about WiFi (the vast majority of the public doesn't understand how it works, what typical WiFi problems are, how to address those problems, etc) - I'd start with recording (not streaming) and checking that quality. Real-time video encoding is demanding, so I'd recommend looking for the Turing or Ampere NVENC option (assuming that video quality is ok for you), or a laptop capable of providing a high level of cooling to the CPU (good to have regardless)īetter quality, if livestreaming (not recording and uploading at whatever bitrate at a later time), usually implies a higher bitrate and WiFi is NEVER consistent, and things outside your place can effect it (only not an issue in places like rural areas where next WiFi device is more than many hundreds of feet away). Not sure about in British pound market, but here in US dollars, lots of perfectly usable gaming laptops for streaming in the US$1->1.5K range. I've heard in general that AMD's GPU encoding offload isn't that good (Windows side), is it the same on the Mac side? Are you gaming or other on the Mac, and trying to stream? or just streaming content from gaming console? if just doing video capture/real-time video encoding/streaming, I'd have thought the MacBook would be ok (assuming realistic stream settings for a laptop) Are you gaming on the Mac and trying to stream from it? Did you see the article on the guy annoyed by his MacBook fan so removed bottom and set up a liquid cooling setup and greatly improved performance (by changing thermal thresholds). I'm surprised an i9 MacBook is struggling, but depends on what you are doing and what you are expecting in terms of video quality.

or there are always KVM switchersĪre you planning for Windows PC/laptop to ONLY be running OBS, ie streaming content from other device (Mac or gaming console)? in which case, what is your plan for video capture/transfer? to use HDMI capture card, or NDI, or ? I find switch inputs on my brand new 32" 1440p monitor a bit tedious compared to my almost 20 yr old 20" Ultrasharp where I can cycle through video inputs quickly and easily from a single button on the front panel. That said, most monitors have multiple video inputs, so you wouldn't necessarily need another monitor. I think the same applies for laptop or desktop (not 100% sure on that)

In general, mimicing what others have said (I've not directly compared), your best bet tends to be something with a Turing nVidia GPU w/ NVENC support, so GTX 1650 Super or newer/higher. And then you have other expansion options you lose, in exchange for lower power consumption and convenience, with smaller form factor

For a given dollar amount, a desktop PC tends to be more powerful, as it can use more electricity and not be thermal constrained. Issue is generally laptops have power constrained CPU & CPUs (there are certain exceptions, and engineering workstation class machines are less constrained, and a lot heavier and more expensive).
