Church I work for is in need of a laptop. The one they have been using is having issues and Im trying to get recommendations. Their budget is limited and Im trying to find something with in their budget. How ever, with Gforce 20xx series recommended and above the prices skyrockets. They are a small church and cannot afford a top end. Wife and I are donating the upgrade from ver22 to the new 29ver.
So Is there a absolute need for a separate video card.
Thanks Rick.

Camera is a PTZ that I hoped we could control through the program direct connection but never got it to work. They run 1080p. budget is around 800-900.

I have no control over the budget, Im just consulting for them as a volunteer. I dont attend, I just set up as much as I can on the stream adn do the slides for them to present. Unfortunately, they have chosen a laptop and I hope it will work out It uses a separate video card, but it is an Intel Arc 140v and Intel core 7 Ultra series 2 CPU at 4.8ghz (8 core) has 1 HDMI and 1 Thunderbolt port and 3 3.0usb ports. Ill send them the link to the one you recommend.
