For making/editing videos, especially HD videos, the notebook should meet or exceed the recommended system requirements that the video editing apps you plan to use. For this, you should consider a MacBook Pro. Whether or not, you want to go with a M1 or Intel model, will again, depend on what apps you want to run on it. M1-capable apps are just starting to come out.


As far as streaming, most newer notebooks have 802.11ac wireless connectivity, which would provide you with the best potential bandwidth for uploading a video stream to the Internet. The two other factors, which is not directly a part of any notebook limitations would be your router/gateway, and your ISP-provided upload speeds.
