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.

    Fast but weighs close to 916 pounds! It sat on a table and never made it to my lap. The keyboard was pretty but the Alien logo was freaky and scary looking. I didn't realize how heavy it was until the next morning! Terrible investment! RETURNED IT!!

    Bought the first one back in February. And it was great for about a month then it blue screened and crashed. Rebooted and file explorer wouldn't work. Ran through a bunch of trouble shooting. Sfc /scannow, DISM repair etc etc. Finally got it working, good for a week and then the same thing. Took to geek squad and they installed a fresh windows bare bones image. It worked fine for about a week and then the same thing. Constantly blue screen crashing. Finally exchanged it for a new one hoping it was just a lemon, and NOPE. A month or so after having it same exact issues. Blue screens, constant crashes, file explorer issues. I run the EXACT SAME software profile on 3 other computers with no issues whatsoever. So not a software problem. AVOID this laptop until Dell figures out their hardware issues.
