Alienware m18 R2
4.0/5
April 2, 2024Pros
- Blistering processing and gaming performance
- Relatively approachable starting price
- QHD+ 165Hz display with FHD+ 480Hz option
- Optional mechanical Cherry MX keyboard
Cons
- Expensive as tested
- Heavy, even for its size
- Screen could be brighter
Bottom Line
The Alienware m18 R2 is just a modest upgrade over the first generation, with Intel’s latest 14th Gen HX chips joining Nvidia's GeForce best, but it's still a sleek, super-fast gaming machine with premium flair.

Video Summary
The dim display renders it unsuitable for most buyers, unless they're gaming in a dungeon. An external monitor might be a better option.
