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 MSI Claw A1M at just $389.99 is an incredible deal this Black Friday and Cyber Monday. No, it wasn't the best selling handheld on the market – but at just a nudge more than the cost of the Steam Deck is boasts a better screen and great performance.

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.

At £449, you can't go wrong with the Lenovo Legion Go S. While its Z2 Go processor may be underwhelming, especially how close it performs in comparison cheaper Steam Deck and its processor, it benefits from a nicer 8-inch 1920x1200 display and a bigger 1TB SSD – justifying the increased price.

The original Steam Deck LCD is still the ideal handheld device for any gamer or newcomer looking to dive into portable PC gaming without paying premium prices. It's great at running plenty of indie games but can struggle in the triple-A space.
View DealAlthough the Steam Deck or Steam Deck OLED are likely to be the default choice for most handheld PC buyers, these discounts show why it's still well worth looking at some of the best Steam Deck alternatives before you add Valve's system to your cart.
The majority of these options are more powerful than the Steam Deck, with higher resolution displays, higher power processors, and more RAM plus storage.
With the prices this compelling, there are plenty of reasons to look at offerings beyond what just Valve is bringing to the table.
