Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the impressive performance and graphics capabilities of the m18 R2 18" 165Hz Gaming Laptop, frequently praising its large screen size ideal for gaming and work. However, some users noted the laptop's considerable weight and relatively short battery life as drawbacks. The large screen, while appreciated by many, also necessitates a larger carrying case.

    I bought this laptop for school and gaming. While doing schoolwork and just browsing the internet the fans make barely any noise. Screen is really nice. The laptop itself doesnt weigh much so its definitely portable unlike some reviews saying its "heavy". Unless you have little chicken arms you should be ok. Dell sells a 18" backpack on their site thats awesome for this. Overall very happy with my purchase would recommend
