Right guys here is my scenario. Im a twitch streamer, been doing it for about 8 months and my streams have really started taking off, looking at hitting 5000 followers by the end of the month. I currently stream in the front room directly through the xbox one.

Im looking for a laptop (it has to be a laptop before anyone tells me i can get a much better desktop for the price, i understand this, but its not feasible in the situation I'm in)

Its has to be a laptop as I'm streaming in the main room and haven't got room for a PC. I need something powerful, I'm going to be running the elgato software through it, along with a few other programs like Spotify (to add music to my streams) and Skype....etc

So i need something fairly powerful that can handle many prograns, I'm not very good with computers guys so i would appreciate if anyone can help me out. I have budget of £1500. (I've been told i can get a good laptop with at least 16gb of ram in for that price)

Can anyone link me to something i could consider for that price? Thanks for any help

appreciate that. The £1500 is all from the donations I've made from the live streaming, which I've spent a few months saving up.

So i want something good in terms of power and performance (graphics aren't a big deal as I'm not playing games on the actual laptop, I'm streaming with the elgato game capture card)
