This is more than capable of playing the latest games. Played Doom (2016) in Ultra settings this afternoon, absolutely flawless.

Troll be trolling.
I don't know if you are being serious or not, God help us all if you believe Lenovo are a brand you can trust and Asus are not.
Alas, this is the cheapest I7-7700HQ on the market with the GTX1050 4GB model.
I'll respect your opinion, but I think you are wrong. We used to have Lenovo laptops in our workplace and they have all gone to laptop heaven, cheap plastics, falling apart at the hinges, touch pads failing within warranty and then again outside of warranty. I also had the Lenovo Yoga 2 from release and had no end of troubles with it. Personally I wouldn't touch anything Lenovo again.

My old Acer, i5 2nd gen, bought on release day, is still going strong, can't be far off 10 years old and I don't know of any other computing device left in my house still working after that time!
Would much rather an i5 and a 1060 for the money.
I'd have to agree with you on that, Acers need killing with fire!
It boils down to the fact that laptops are not primarily designed for gaming a dedicated GFX card that can play games at a decent res on a normal non gaming laptop is a bonus.
If you want to game 'properly' on a laptop then you need to be prepared to spend £1500 for mid level and £2000 and upwards for desktop level performance and in the end its completely wasted on your small laptop screen anyway. I know a lot of people who swear by gaming on laptops but apart from 'on the go' gaming they are largely a hugely expensive and due to the lack of upgrade ability, pointless endeavor.
But this is sold as a gaming laptop - so it should be speced to match that. You could make this decent by reducing the CPU and increasing the GPU, especially in 1080p.
First of all you can get a decent spec'd Nvidia1060 laptop for less than £1500 (actually about £1,250) which of course is still a lot of money. This will play many AAA games at max settings in 1080p and even the most demanding games at high settings.
This is because, in a decently spec'd laptop, a 1060 gpu will give you desktop level performance as the 1060 is faster than a desktop Nvidia 970 and not that far off a desktop 980 which is a beast of a card in its own right.
Finally not all of us have the space for a Desktop. But if you do have the space and don't mind the fixed location of a desktop then of course a desktop is better value for money.
I'm going to be investing in one soon so need to know what GPU to go for, what CPU etc
As far as I can tell, if I can afford it, an i7 (7th gen) with a 1060 would be ideal? Then as much memory as I can afford with an SSD
Try to find a similar laptop at a similar price with at least a 1060.
This one has a 1050 and I think you might regret it later.
This is all about opinion... I know Asus are a good brand in general but their support is poor... Still would pay the extra £100 for a 1060 and a brand I trust more.
Just because someone has a different opinion doesn't mean you need to disrespect them.
I upgrade my MSI every 3 years and always get a decent return on my old one. I have a GT80 which has i7, 32gb DDR5 dual SLI and 18" screen...it is incredible and immersive to play games, watch films or listen to music via the dedicated amp & DAC. Yes it cost me £2500 but I'll get back half that towards next one. So yes outlay for laptops more, but get a decent brand and they'll hold their residual value far more than a desktop, as gaming laptops are always in high demand, they are very popular for a number of reasons.
I absolutely love gaming on it, chuck it on bed & away I go and the missus gets to watch the television.
I don't want a big ugly PC tower in house, and I don't want to take over TV in evening every night so a gaming laptop perfect compromise. Plus I love strategy games which are largely rubbish on consoles.
When I go away with work, which is a lot, I can take away with me and have some gaming time at hotel.
So, your pointless endeavour comment is well off base
6 years or 10 years, it's still a huge difference to where we are at now.
Very, very rarely does a CPU give up the ghost before any other component of any computer device though, so I'm not seeing what your point is?
