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.

    Alienware Warranty Scam

    I purchased this from bestbuy hoping that after purchase I would get warranty from Dell directly. Immediately after purchase I reached out to dell (who take forever to respond). They quoted three times the price of warranty for the same cover, if I had bought it from dell directly. Now if I buy the warranty, whatever I saved here will cost me more than what I would have gotten if I bought from dell. Geek squad is not an option if usage is outside of US. I am a repeat purchaser of alienware, used 15R2 before. Only updating since windows is not supporting hardware anymore. The sysem does not feel any faster! The screen blanks sometimes without any reason when stressed.

    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!!

    Don't buy this garbage! Constant problems with software. Dell software and Windows Defender block each other all the time and cause a bunch of errors. I tried to somehow restore everything, but it's useless. Even after a complete reinstallation of Windows, problems immediately begin. DO NOT BUY THIS GARBAGE!!! Save your money and nerves!
