The full story
Portable PC gaming costs a little less. The Steam Deck OLED, the version with a better screen and more generous battery, is showing up at below-average prices this season, helped by the usual summer dip and competition from other Windows handhelds.
It's a particular device, and worth understanding before buying. It runs the huge Steam library on the move, but it isn't a phone: it asks for some care, from managing saves to the compatibility of certain titles.
For anyone who already has a hefty Steam library, though, the value is clear: you play on the sofa, on the train or in bed without turning on the PC. And the OLED screen makes a real difference over the base model.
How long the discount lasts is hard to say. Gaming handhelds are a crowded, fast-moving segment: if you're undecided, keep an eye on the price over the coming weeks, heading into the autumn events.
