I did read it but with low quality recording it should be able work on his computer. If he only need clips for his guide the quality isn't that big of a deal.
Edit: Tons of settings in obs so he should be able find something that works for his computer.
I am currently playing around with OBS settings to find an "average" quality (I did run into a black screen issue, but I think I know how to fix it). Shoulnd't be a problem, I might be able to record the thing tomorrow or the day after. Thanks for all your help guys :)

Oh, I'm mainly asking to know which encoding options you will have available to you.
Intel and Nvidia both have hardware encoding that works with OBS.
What are your encoding settings?
I went with Nvidia's encoder because Intel Quick Sync caused audio sync problems for me.
I'm using the "Nvidia NVENC" encoder at quality balance 8, 15000kb/s VBR (Variable BitRate) with audio at 128kb/s, 44.1kHz and AAC format. I really recommend turning the "Use CBR" (Constant BitRate) option off for local recording. These settings are all in the "Encoding" tab, but more options can be found in the "Advanced" tab.
Make sure you have CFR (Constant FrameRate) turned off. There are a lot of different encoding options in the "NVENC Preset" drop-down. I found the best results with "High Performance Low Latency (2pass)". Very little performance impact with good quality balance.
I can also teach you a bit about video transcoding if you'd like. It's very useful for videos you'd like to keep on your PC as it can reduce file sizes by half with very little loss in quality.

I tried using your settings, no lag in-game, lots of lag in the video (as I said, my PC isn't the best, lol). What I am currently testing:
Video:
Encoder: x264
Quality Balance: 10
Max Bitrate: 3000
Custom Buffer Size: 0
Codec: AAC
Base Resolution: 1366x768 (this is giving me problems, the video is kind of blurry
Audio:
Format: 48 kHz
Bitrate: 128
I think I included everything I messed with. So far, the video seems okay, not very smooth, not very laggy either. I will try to mess around abit more to see if I can improve it further.

Are you sure you changed to the NVENC encoder and went into advanced and changed to the "High Performance Low Latency (2pass)"? If so then just try your standard bitrate(3000) and if that works well try 8000kb/s.
Which of the 3 encoding options (at the top of the endcoding page) are available? Can you click on all 3?
Your laptop has a 1366x768 resolution?
Change quality balance to 8. It's the balance between sharpness during movement and sharpness during still images.
Change audio "Format" (it's actually called sampling rate, dunno why the f OBS calls it format) to 44.1kHz.
Did you disable CBR and CFR like I told you to?
