Well I'm an American so I don't know if these companies exist in AUS. I know Alien Ware has never had a bed reputation for their hardware. You may want to check them out their gaming Laptops but it will be a bit pricy.
Also, ACER has given both of my close friends with excellent performance. I think if you want the brand name it looks like Fraglab is one and Alien Ware is another. These brand names will definitely make shopping faster but if you look around at some ACER and other computer makers laptops you can find a nice Laptop for a lot cheaper.
Something to keep in mind for streaming. You need very good internet to stream at + 480p and without Wi-Fi. I stream Brood War for casting like 5 hours a day and I can tell you it eats up my computer hardware man and that game is 14 years old. You need a VERY VERY fast / powerful processor i7 is not a terrible to go with or whatever AMD's equivalent would be. I'd also try to hit 6GB or higher for your RAM just so you can Alt Tab easier haha.
Lastly your Graphics Card. It depends on what your exactly trying to steam. You need to be able to play what you are playing SC2 running @ 720p Ultra specs your going to need a pretty high end graphics card. But on the other hand if your fine with High / Mid / Low graphics you could hit a lower end graphics card.
Pretty much the graphics card plays the game smoothly. Processor and RAM allow xSplit to stream smoothly and not to slow down your gameplay. Just saying this would be much easier to have a Desktop ahah ^_^. Good Luck my friend.
