While I can't help you with the shader pack side of things, those specs should run vanilla Minecraft quite nicely, as well as most mods. Being a laptop I'm always concerned about heat issues when playing for long periods of time, as there are plenty of laptops that while they have excellent hardware for gaming, don't have sufficient ventilation to support their hardware actually being used like that.
Side note: According to the lenovo site, that laptop has the GTX960M. I'm not sure about the mobile version, but the 960 desktop version itself should be more than sufficient, according to Tom's Hardware GPU Hierarchy Chart. On that chart, anything above the line with the Iris Pro Graphics 6200 should be able to handle Minecraft nicely, based on my experience. That being said, many cards below that will handle it fairly well, but no guarantees, especially with shader mods.

Yes the 960M will definitely be able to run large modpacks with ease. My brother has the 950M and that runs modpacks at over 200FPS so this laptop should be fine.
My laptop has 8gb of ram and an intel i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz and it has NVIDIA Geoforce GTX will this run large modpacks with a good FPS??
(In case the information is needed it is a Lenovo ideapad y700
What NVIDIA GeForce GTX series is it?
