Best LAPTOP for Camming???
Hello again u lovely helpful lladies
my laptop has been acting like a tired old whore that needs to be put down...... So basically I need a new laptop . I have an iPhone n iPad so my main use for the laptop is Camming. What is best?!?? I understand I will need to upgrade the cam with it but as far as the laptop goes I guess I need something fast and reliable n all that. What do u guys suggest??? Price matters but if its a good enough laptop I could see myself spending quite a bit. It's for Camming so it's for work so it's nessisary haha thank you

Re: Best LAPTOP for Camming???
When i first started camming i had cheap walmart laptop i think it was asus i5. I had many issues with Encoder and i could never stream in HD. Then i went to BestBuy bought Hp Pavilion i7 which is absolutely amazing. Its like a Lamborghini laptop lol since then I always stream in HD and i noticed a huge increase in my traffic and placement. I never have to worry about crashes. On top of it i have Logitech c910 and fast internet. It a pleasure for me to work ok SM right now.
My advise to anyone that is having any technical issues That HAVENT upgraded yet to really work your ass of for a week or two and make money to buy a Goood asss laptop i7 and u will see a huge difference. The same with webcam it make a huge difference. U will see more traffic and more guy keep coming back. I know a lot of guys told me that they hate MFC because of low quality of stream and they prefer SM so guy really pay attention to the quality of your stream.

I've been camming off of a Toshiba Satellite i3 for 3 months with no encoder or lag issues. How, I don't know. *it is a mystery*
I have a new Macbook Pro i7 but I currently can't get my webcam set up on it, no matter how many times Apple and Logitech tell me that my cam is compatible.

do you mind sharing what exact laptop model is? i know you said the HP pavilion,but there are tons and tons of hp pavilions with i7 processors.im in the middle of saving up for a really good laptop,as mine is like a dinosaur,and if im going to make an investment,id like to make one that is going to last me awhile so that im not upgrading AGAIN in another yr.but id like one that another camgirl already has and has reported no encoder probs etc before i buy one,bc ive heard not all i7 laptops are equal and i can just imagine my reaction if i spend a shitload of money only to have the damn thing still mess up on SM.

Can a computer techie chime in and tell us if buying refurbished laptops off ebay is safe? Or is there some scam going on where they use fake parts or something (idk, just a thought...)?
Re: Best LAPTOP for Camming???
I have a question. When I see laptops with AMD (I think that's what it's called) instead of i7, is that the equivalent to i7? I'm pretty sure that somewhere in the Streamate Model Admin area, it says that i7 OR AMD is recommended. Is one supposed to be better than the other?
And like someone above posted, I would hate to spend hard-earned money on a brand new laptop, only to be told a year from now to upgrade AGAIN. That is a big purchase, and I want to get a laptop I'll be using for a long time.

Re: Best LAPTOP for Camming???
as mentioned in other threads, where processors and camming applications are concerned ...
the Intel I7 is the fastest 'off the shelf' processor
the AMD FX 3.6 ghz processors ranks second
the 'fast' Intel I5 comes in next ( but note that all I5's are not created equal )
anything downscale from there is IMHO too old / too slow to be worth investing money in.
personally I run an I7 based Toshiba Tecra laptop, and an AMD FX-8150 based ZT Systems desktop.
Re: Best LAPTOP for Camming???
I have a Sony Vaio, 64 bit, Intel core i5 with Window's 7. Would that work for Camming high-def?
Re: Best LAPTOP for Camming???
There are so many different kinds of i5 processors, as well as not knowing how much RAM you have, hard drive size, and how much gunk is already bogging down your system. Do you have the model number?

Please help ladies! Princess, you seem to be the master techie here, i need serious advice. I've been camming off my Asus but its specs aren't that great. I've never had a macbook before, just and iphone and ipad. I really want to get a new laptop to cam off of soon and have been looking around. Everyone seems to have their own opinions about so many windows laptop. After doing a lot of research on here, I've narrowed it down to just get a mac book and can't decide between the Macbookpro Retina, and the Macbook pro (mid 2012? Thunderbolt? didn't see the diff option on apple website) I have NO KNOWLEDGE about ANY technology. After researching through the search forum it seems as long as I get an i7, i'll be safe. The reasons I don't want to get windows is that Ive had lenovo, hp, and my sister has a vaio now. I hate how some get EXTREMELY hot, loud fan, just awful. At least with macbook i can always go back to the store to ask for help. It seems the Retina is their brand new top of the line one , but after trying to read and understand the specs it seems that the original macpro has a higher flash storage? I want to invest in a GOOD FAST RELIABLE comp. Please help me decide which is best between the three. I have a logitech 9000 which some people seem to have issues using with mac but right now i need an actual working laptop first.
Thanks!
