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.

    Had the laptop for a week. Ran fine. My complaint is the fact that the laptop weighs a whole 10 pounds when most 16 inch laptops weigh 3-4. Just too heavy. If you like giant laptops that will kill your back in a backpack then this is the laptop for you!

    Awesome machine. Needed the large screen so went for the 18". It's almost like having a desktop. I gave it 5 stars because I don't really use it as a portable. For those that need to be "un-plugged" please be aware that the battery pretty much sucks. To be expected running this setup.

    The machine is amazing; its features make it truly a beauty. It seems like a very good purchase, although I’ve only used it for a short time. Nevertheless, it’s a great product. However, what was disappointing was the service from Best Buy. I paid for an excellent condition, but the machine arrived with some scratches, which was unfair. I received a small refund, but it didn’t justify the condition. Still, it was the best I could get, considering I couldn’t visit the store or had time for exchanges. Even so, everything turned out fine. The laptop is very beautiful.
