In our Nintendo Switch Lite review, we were impressed with its comfortable design, portability, and good battery life, which lasted 3 hours and 50 minutes. Combined with its stellar game library, it won a Tom's Guide Editor's Choice award. 

The current Nintendo Switch shortage means this deal could sell out rapidly, so don't hesitate to grab one of these handhelds while you still can.
