Hi everyone, I’m seeking suggestions for a budget-friendly WiFi laptop suitable for connecting a video camera to stream zoom meetings. We’ll be using a USB webcam-equipped camera to broadcast a live stage performance. Camera options are welcome as well!

Budget: whatever fits the needs.
Notebook size: around 15 inches.
Screen resolution: whatever is available.
Portability: portable preferred.
Battery life: need at least 4 hours.
Gaming: not required, this laptop is strictly for broadcasting.
Additional tasks: photo/video editing, cloud video playback via HDMI, showing slideshows, etc.
Storage: about 128GB SSD, sufficient for Windows updates and Zoom.
Other sites to shop: please share links if you have any.
Duration: until we part ways!
Optical drive: DVD ROM/Writer or Bluray ROM/Writer preferred; a CD-ROM player would be fine.
Preferred brands: none specified.
Location: United States - Arizona.
Extra info: please let us know.

Almost anything could work; a phone on a stand is sufficient for broadcasting. For audio performances, you'd need a microphone or multiple ones. Lenovo IdeaPads are a solid choice and relatively affordable.
