Limited-Time 15% Discount on Steam Deck LCD Models as Valve Phases Out Stock

Forget buying a gaming laptop and alleviate your Steam Deck FOMO with this limited-time 15% discount. The Steam Deck was introduced two years ago, sparking a wave of other PC gaming handhelds. It has consistently remained among the most popular and affordable portable gaming options available. Valve is now enhancing the value proposition by offering a 15% price reduction on two specific models.

The sale is happening because the Steam Deck LCD models, specifically the 64GB and 512GB versions, are being phased out. The discounts will only last while supplies remain, which might not be for long.

In the US, the price of the 64GB LCD model has been slashed from $349 to $296.65 (from £309 to £262.65 in the UK). The price of the 512GB LCD model has been reduced from $449 to $381.65 (from £389 to £330.65 in the UK).

This promotion excludes Steam Deck OLED models and will end on July 11 or earlier if stocks run out. It's a tempting deal for those who have been postponing the purchase of a Steam Deck and are indifferent to the OLED screen.

The Steam Deck is a favorite in the realm of portable gaming for several reasons. Valve’s handheld device is well-built and thoughtfully designed, offering a system that rates games for compatibility with the Steam Deck, making it easy to identify which PC games run well on the device.

One of its major selling points is its portability; the Steam Deck is lighter and more compact compared to alternatives like the Asus ROG Ally. Additionally, the Steam Deck operates on its own system - SteamOS, whereas other rival handhelds run on Windows 11, which is slower and bulkier in various aspects due to that.

In summary, this seems like an excellent opportunity to dive into the world of portable gaming PCs while saving some money. Don’t hesitate to take advantage of this offer, as the stock could deplete quickly.

It is also advisable to carefully consider the 64GB model; note that not only does it have a smaller drive, but it's an eMMC model, meaning it’s slower than the SSDs in other Steam Deck variants. Nonetheless, the price is very attractive now, that's undeniable.
