Weigh up these alternatives before sticking the Steam Deck in your cart

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Cyber Monday is here and it doesn't look like the handheld gaming PC
discounts we saw on Black Friday are going anywhere.

The Steam Deck OLED is obviously going to be the most popular pick, but Best Buy is leading the charge in the US, with huge discounts on worthy alternatives that you should consider too.

The closest competitor is the Lenovo Legion Go S which is just $649.99 ,
down from $899.99. It's significantly more powerful than the Steam Deck, but runs the same operating system so will still be familiar to Valve fans.

If you'd rather go for something around the same price as the Steam Deck, the MSI Claw A1M is just $389.99 (down from $649.99) thanks to a massive 40% off at Best Buy.

Over in the UK, Very has the best deals, with the Go S going for just 599
(was 699) and other MSI Claw models discounted. Here's what you need to know.

The Steam Deck is getting on in years, but it's still a good choice especially with a fair chunk taken off its price tag like this. It's lower power than many of the alternatives on this list, which is reflected in worse performance, but its design and build is still second to none.
