My plans have been all over the place. I did purchase vMix HD though.

I would like to know the minimal standard a laptop would have to be run vMix as an input to another application I would not be doing any capturing but merely playing video files, maybe social vMix, as input to an BMD ATEM.

I realize the laptop has to have HDMI out but what can I get away with in terms of CPU, Memory,? Does the graphics card have any effect on the video going out the HDMI port ?

Any recommendation of a brand and model?

Hope to Go Live in 2 weeks.

Thanks

Core i3 Dual Core or higher with built in Intel Graphics or better would most likely do it easily (most laptops have about that built in). The graphics card will help for sure, but you didn't say you are streaming or doing much else, so you wouldn't really need much help. The CPU+Intel GPU on the chip would do the job.

The problem is, you say that's what you want to do today.

Tomorrow you may kick yourself for not spending a extra to get a Core i5 or i7 Quad with Intel Iris Pro 5200 Graphics because all of a sudden you want to drop some full HD inputs into that lovely laptop via usb 3 for example.
