isladavid Posted December 17 Share Posted December 17 Hi everyone, Finding the right balance between performance and affordability for streaming and gaming can be challenging, especially when using an i5 gaming laptop. While an i5 processor is great for gaming, streaming simultaneously can push the hardware to its limits. I’m looking for recommendations for the top i5 gaming laptop models that can handle both tasks effectively. Key factors to consider include: Processor: Intel Core i5 (11th Gen or higher for better performance) GPU: A dedicated graphics card like NVIDIA GTX 1650, RTX 3050, or higher RAM: Minimum 16GB for multitasking Cooling: Efficient cooling systems to avoid throttling during extended sessions Display: Full HD with at least a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother visuals Has anyone here used an i5 gaming laptop that delivers great performance for both streaming and gaming? I’d also appreciate feedback on how these laptops manage performance when using software like OBS or Streamlabs while playing demanding games. Any recommendations or firsthand experiences with specific models or brands would be really helpful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It handles OBS well and stays cool with dual fans. A 120Hz display is also a game-changer for smooth visuals!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
