Not a laptop. If you plan on streaming/recording, a desktop is much better. Laptops tend to be underpowered in comparison. And before you go out and buy one, please do some research on the specifications/hardware in a computer. Most prebuilt PCs tend to be overpriced.

Other stuff you might need -
Capture Card (If you plan on using consoles at all, this is required.)
A QUALITY microphone. No 10$ mics. Please.
Knowledge. Don't go into this thinking it's easy to be a popular/successful streamer, because it's really not. You have to be prepared to not have many viewers for a while, along with knowing how to actually stream. (There a plenty of guides out there if you search.)

Any should work. You'll still want a desktop over a laptop for the sole reason of better hardware, which is essential to streaming.

Also, this is useful if you want to stream anything from older consoles:

Sub buttons are given to you by twitch after you get enough attention. I'm no good at layouts but there are templates out there.

Donations are done by making a link in your twitch profile stuff for PayPal as far as I know.
