While we recommend streaming from a desktop if possible, going live from a laptop is absolutely doable, provided you have the specs necessary. If you're looking to stream PC games, you'll need a graphics card that's strong enough to support the streaming software and whatever game you're planning on playing. More important than your computer specs is your Internet connection, as you'll definitely want to stay connected via Ethernet for the best possible bitrate. The faster your Internet connection, the better, so you should probably aim to have an upload speed of at least 3Mbits per second, which should be quite achievable on most home Internet connections.
