Tom's Hardware Readers Flock to $399 Switch 2 and $200-Off SSDs During Prime Day

Summary
Tom's Hardware readers clicked most on portable displays, DVD burners, the Nintendo Switch 2 and a handful of SSD deals rather than traditional PC-building parts during Prime Day.
High storage and RAM prices, scarce GPU discounts and cheaper prebuilts appear to have cooled DIY-PC interest, pushing shoppers toward clearer value buys and niche accessories.
The standout gaming deal was Woot's Switch 2 at $399 for new customers or $419 for returning buyers, a notable discount on Nintendo's $449 listing.
Storage still drew attention where discounts were meaningful, including a 2TB WD Black SN7100 at $299.99 after a $200 cut and Samsung's 990 Pro 1TB.
The click pattern suggests budget pressure is reshaping tech shopping, with readers favoring discounted consoles, practical add-ons and rare name-brand SSD bargains over major PC upgrades.
