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 would recommend this to a friendDon't waste your money
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDell setup to fail after a year, and no warrany!
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased an open box, and when I was home, I discovered I had the wrong power supply. I have to purchase another power supply to keep the bios from popping up. I purchased the unit as a backup of the one I put into the Best Buy repair. Two weeks later, there is still no repair, and the cost is now up to the price of an almost new one. That unit was less than two years old; both were Dell Alienware. After the issues, I will recommend that no one, never buy dell, as the headaches are not worth owning.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendIts great, till its not.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendSlow right off the bat
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had the laptop for less than a week. It disconnects all the time while trying to play basic League of Legends. It is not the internet connection as the speed test I run is perfect. My other laptop runs it perfectly fine. This laptop should not be this slow for the price you pay and the CPU should not be running at 100% when trying to play league of legends. I will be returning it immediately

Not worth for the price.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good specs, but really bad screen quality and brightness.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendi9 Processor Hardware Issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The laptop includes an i9 processor which is known to have hardware issues and crashes games- I didn't know or learn of this until after buying; laptop was in fact a dud. Grateful at least for the full refund! Otherwise a pretty responsive system but a decent display at best.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot Worth It
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Constant blue screen crashes, Dell warranty for exchange is only 30 days. Dell tech support is utter garbage. Dell is definitely just banking of the Alienware reputation of old. Don't waste your time or money
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGot a hair dryer instead of laptop beware best buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately, I received a hair dryer instead of the laptop. It took months and a letter to the better business bureau for best huh to take back the hair dryer and credit me. I did end up buying the laptop and love it; however would not buy from best buy!
I would recommend this to a friendMake sure you look at the open box at the counter
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.They said it has no damage but I took it home and the back was damaged
I would recommend this to a friendMisleading
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.There was an incorrect price tag in front of this computer.
I would recommend this to a friendCould be alot better
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.CONSTANTLY CRASHING FOR $2100 IT SHOULDNT HAVE ISSUES RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Pros mentioned:Overall performance, Speed
Excellent Thus Far
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have to say, I picked up this machine yesterday. It has been exceptional thus far. Also, I am not a normal Alienware person. I have purposely steered away from the brand, but this one has been top-notch thus far. I wish the screen was a smidge brighter, but other than that, it has been great. The salesman swore up and down the laptop did not have a numpad. I love numpads. It has been very stable, runs fast and has not been hot to the touch. We see in the long term if all of this holds up and the laptop goes into my Hall of Fame for laptops.
