Because I play a pretty decent amount of games I decided to go ahead and try to start streaming while I play. When I try, the stream is laggy and skips around a little bit. I don't know if this is because my pc isn't beefy enough to handle it, if it is my stream settings in OBS, or if it is because I do not have the best internet. Also, if it is the PC, would it be better/possible to use my laptop as a streaming pc. I have a Dell Inspiron 7000 series gaming laptop. Any answers will be greatly appreciated, thank you!

PC Specs:
CPU: i7 7700k

p.s. I do not know my laptop specs off the top of my head.
