How to choose a Nintendo Switch

There are two variants of the Nintendo Switch on the market: the standard system, which you can play on both your TV in docked mode or in handheld mode using only the console itself, and the Nintendo Switch Lite, which is the cheaper, handheld-only model. Unless the price is your only consideration, the choice between the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite should be an easy one that comes down to whether you want to play your Switch games on your television. Note that there is no way to hook your Switch Lite up to a TV — there are no cables or third-party adapters that let you do so. The Switch Lite’s internal hardware isn’t even capable of transmitting video and audio to an external source — it runs only in handheld mode.

There are some smaller differences to note as well. Unlike the standard Nintendo Switch console, the Switch Lite does not feature removable Joy-Con controllers (it’s assembled as a single unit). That said, there are no gaps between the two when it comes to internal specs. Both systems run on the same hardware and can play the same games except for a few titles that aren’t compatible with handheld mode — like Ring Fit Adventure or Super Mario Party — as this is how the Switch Lite works (there is no docked mode at all). That said, if you have spare Joy-Cons, you can still connect them to the Switch Lite for playing games that require separate controllers.

Nintendo is notoriously stingy when it comes to discounting the Nintendo Switch, even during these big seasonal sales. The company tends not to offer direct savings on the Switch console itself but instead rolls out Switch systems bundled with free games and accessories that are a great way to save. Watch out for these bundle offers, as they may be the easiest way for you to score a great Cyber Week Nintendo Switch deal this holiday shopping season.

Should you buy a Nintendo Switch?

Cyber Week is the last major sales event of the year. This means that now is the best time to buy a new Nintendo Switch before the year ends. It’s also the only time you’ll get the best Nintendo games, accessories, and bundles at the lowest possible prices. Keep in mind though, that this wasn’t your typical Cyber Weekend. To keep up with the heavy demand, many retailers launched their Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales early this year, so don’t waste any more time — take advantage of these Cyber Week Nintendo Switch deals before they’re gone for another year.

Are any Nintendo Switch deals too good to be true?

Since the Nintendo Switch has been so difficult to get your hands on since its release, the simple answer here is no. If you find a deal on anything Switch-related today, you should grab it. Typically, retailers use major sales events like Cyber Week to get rid of stock of older products, but when it comes to the Switch, any deal is usually a good deal. Be sure to check for newer versions of games just to be sure you’re not buying an outdated version, but even a lot of the older Switch games are a ton of fun and have high replayability.

Best Dell Cyber Monday Deals
Dell 24-Inch Monitor -- $80, was $150

Dell got its start making desktop PCs, so it's only natural that the brand also puts out some great desktop monitors, too. After all, a desktop PC tower is little more than an expensive office decoration without a display, and the Dell SE2422H 1080p monitor shows that you don't have to even spend more than a Benjamin to get a good one. At 24 inches, it's a great size for productivity, and its anti-glare coating and ComfortView technology (which reduces harsh blue light) makes it comfortable to work on all day. Dell Cyber Monday deals knock it down to an unbeatable price.

2020 Apple MacBook Air -- $799, was $999

If you're entering the Apple ecosystem and don't want to pay much money for a Macbook, the 2020 Apple MacBook Air is the perfect fit and is often the gateway for most newcomers. What's even better is that this is the updated version with Apple's fancy new M1 chip, which not only leaps ahead of the Intel-based version but also manages to be fanless and whisper quiet. Of course, performance is excellent, and the 8GB is a great entry-level amount to keep the Air running smoothly without many hitches. The 13-inch Retina Display is also rather gorgeous and runs at 2560 x 1600 resolution with an IPS display, meaning better color reproduction. Storage is a bit on the lower end, so it might be worth subscribing to a cloud storage service to help with that. If you're new to Apple MacBooks, then this one is the one to grab from all the Cyber Monday MacBook deals.

HP Victus -- $480, was $800

Budget gaming laptops are somewhat of a rarity in the below $500 price bracket, but this HP Victus not only manages that but is also relatively good. Running a GTX 1650 under the hood, you do sadly miss out on ray tracing, but that doesn't mean the budget GPU isn't good. Even better, the 15.6-inch 144Hz FHD won't tax the GTX 1650 too much, so you should be able to play recent games at a relatively good setting, although the newest games might struggle a bit. Overall construction is also good, with very little flex in the keyboard for the price point, and even though you only get 8GB of RAM, you can upgrade it yourself with another 8GB stick for the added dual-channel performance, which we encourage. Overall, this might not be the best laptop, but it is one of the best Cyber Monday gaming laptop deals you'll find for a budget gaming laptop.
