Streaming in 4K
My laptop broke the other day so I am needing a new one. Does anyone know what are the minimum laptop requirements for streaming in 4K? I'm using StripChat.

Hi TopsyWilde,
Shame about your laptop, not good to hear.
Minimum spec I would look at is Ryzen 7 or core i7 processor, 16GB ram, fast ssd, and preferably a 4k display as standard, and a similar spec for Mac if you like those.
This is what I use, and I can stream 4k, but my limitations are the broadband speed, not the laptop.
Personal choice if I could would be an i9, with at least 32GB ram.
Basically buy the best you can afford now and then it will last longer.
I bought mine 4 years ago and it still goes strong, it cost me £2k then, but was well worth it for the spec still to be good enough.
Watch out for one thing though, mine is a Dell XPS 15 gaming laptop which I can upgrade the graphics card and ram if I want to. The XPS13 was a similar spec, and cheaper, BUT no option to upgrade either ram of graphics.
It's not just the spec you pay for, but the ability to upgrade 😉
Hope this helps

Thanks a million! Are refurbished laptops worth looking at or not really?

anything that meets the spec is good, be careful of battery life on anything but new, and check the warranty
