Can you play new games with this laptop?

Nvidia GTX 1060

8 GB of RAM

Intel® Core ™ i7 (7th generation) 7700HQ processor 4x 2.80 GHz

Laptops are fundamentally less suitable for new games (especially fast with good graphics) than Tower. Where 8gb for a new Pc but actually too little. So I would not recommend.

1060 in the laptop is decent, it should all games work. However, I've already made the mistake myself and would not buy a laptop for games.

Yes, but only in medium settings.

I advise against these laptops. Much more expensive than normal PCs, short life due to high temperatures and you can usually exchange nothing.
