I got mine open box for $900. That helps the rating and at that price it beats a MB air with a better screen, more RAM and larger starting flash storage. It is great for email, web and light office work. It can handle your streaming too. I had it running two streams on separate external monitors.
You need to know two things versus other Macs. First, the keyboard has very little vertical travel. It may take a while to get used to it. Second, it only has the one usb-c port. This is not a big deal for most tasks, but it is still early for usb-c, so you may want an adaptor. I went ahead and bought an hdmi/3 usb3.0 adaptor to run multiple monitors. Don't cheap out on the usb-c adaptors/cables as I've read about many issues with the cheap ones.
