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!
