A great way to repurpose past-gen hardware.

Someone managed to squeeze KDE and Steam onto their Nintendo Switch Lite

Amazon UK is offering a remarkable deal on the Nintendo Switch 2, with the console priced at a record low of £354.99. This price represents a significant discount of £65, or 15%, off the usual retail price. The offer is set to expire as part of Amazon's upcoming Big Deal Days event, so potential buyers should act swiftly to secure this limited-time offer.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is the second generation of the popular Switch console. It features a 7.9-inch 1080p touchscreen display that can be held in hand, as well as a dock for playing games on a TV. The included Joy-Con controllers can be used in both attached and detached modes, providing flexibility for gaming.

This specific model comes with a 256GB of internal storage, allowing for the installation of several big games. However, for those who plan on having extensive game libraries, adding external storage may be advisable. A recommended option is the 256GB Samsung P9 Express microSD card, currently priced at £73.98, representing a 19% discount off its original price of £90.99.

Given the limited availability of this deal, particularly as Amazon prepares for its Big Deal Days event, consumers are advised to make their purchase promptly to take advantage of this exceptional offer.
