It’s no secret that Black Friday deals will soon reach their climax, and with Black Friday itself on the horizon on November 28 and Cyber Monday following shortly after, it’s now the right time to highlight the best handheld gaming PC deals – and believe me, there are some great deals here you’d hate to miss.

First and foremost, the Steam Deck 256GB LCD on Steam is now $319.20 / £279.20 (was $399.20 / £349), with a 20% discount, making an already popular and affordable handheld more approachable for gamers – but there are plenty of others.

While all of these deals are worth considering, the easiest recommendation is the Steam Deck 256GB LCD, as it’s the most affordable handheld on the list, and still goes strong among the best handheld games consoles.

However, if more power and performance are your priority, then the MSI Claw 7 AI+ should be your first choice. Having used the MSI Claw 8 AI+ extensively, I can confidently say that its Intel Core Ultra 7 258V processor is one of the best for handheld gaming – and the best you’ll find in a handheld under $1,000 / £1,000.

These deals won’t stick around forever, though, so it’s best to move fast!
