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 honestly thought Alienware was it's own product line and wouldn't have even given it a look if I knew it was Dell. They have the worst products. They didn't have what I wanted in stock so I got this and as soon as I opened it, realized it was Dell. Decided to give it a shot and crashes my game more than my old hp laptop. Even had plain old file explorer crash on me 3 times. Incredibly heavy and seems to get pretty hot despite all the bells and whistles. Returning if Best Buy will let me take it back without the box.

    This was an open box item and supposedly Geek Squad certified. Well either they used Best Buy logins and forgot to clear them or there were users left from the previous owners. I was well into setting up the laptop when I discovered that I needed administrator privilege's to make changes. I wasted a lot of time because they did not clear out the old users and the administrator requirements. Other than that I like the laptop, but be aware it is heavy and the adapter plugs into the back, not the typical side.

    I’m an architect, and I use Autodesk software on this laptop, including for rendering. I have no issues with its performance. The only problem is the battery—I wish its capacity were more efficient.
