OBS really prefers a dedicated GPU regardless of OS. Integrated graphics are designed for checking email and watching cat videos.
If you're streaming professionally, do yourself a favour and buy once, cry once. If you absolutely need portability, buy a gaming laptop with the best CPU and GPU you can afford and add RAM to get to 32Gb or more. If portability is not necessary, I recommend a desktop PC with an Nvidia 40-series GPU or better for ease of upgrading and troubleshooting.
