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.

    The 32 GB / 18" screen is beyond compare. For my personal business and entertainment, I highly recommend the Alienware PC. The Best Buy sales staff and support team made this an easy transition to my new set-up. What are you waiting for?!!!

    Loved the performance of the computer, but the CPU usage caused unbelievable overheating for both the computer and charger. Within minutes it would become hot to the touch from opening anything, and I mean anything besides like chrome, when it came to games, small or large. Even apps. Whats the point of a high performance laptop if it over heats so excessively??

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    It's heavier than my old laptop, and it tends to have some lag time too. Not really impressed, especially for what I paid for it.
