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 is in comparison cheaper Steam Deck and its processor, the additional benefits of an 8-inch 1920x1200 display, and a 1TB SSD, make this a reasonable price drop and a device worth buying.

Your games are really going places when you buy the MSI Claw 7 AI+, with the Intel Core Ultra 7 258V capable of supercharging your games at high graphics settings.

View DealWhile 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!
