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.

When I think of a laptop, I think portable. This is heavy, like a brick. There's no way your going to carry this very far, especially not on a plane. It puts out a ton of heat. If you actually had to use it on your lap, you'd be pretty uncomfortable. The graphics aren't that great. I know it says it has a bigger graphics card, but the image on the screen look very cartoonish. I gave it a try for 3 weeks. I decided to return the brick. I searched and found the graphics card on my original laptop could be updated. I did and it works great.

I probably buy a computer every 7-10 years. I can’t believe how much better this thing is than my old piece of junk. Fast and responsive. The pretty lights can be turned off which is great.

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.
