Best Buy slashes $200 off the Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme, bringing the price down to just $449.99! This is the lowest price I've seen for a brand-new unit, beating even Black Friday deals. The offer also includes a free ROG Ally travel case, a one-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, and two months of Crunchyroll Mega Fan.
The Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme is a top-tier gaming handheld, particularly appealing to those who prefer a wider range of game launchers beyond Steam.
Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme Gaming Handheld - $449.99
$649.99 (Save $200!) $449.99 at Best Buy
This high-end model boasts an AMD Zen 4 based Z1 Extreme CPU, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Its 7" 1080p display features a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
Unlike the Steam Deck's Linux-based OS, the ROG Ally runs on Windows 11, offering compatibility with Steam, Battle.net, Xbox Game Pass, Epic Games Store, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, and more. This broad compatibility makes it a compelling choice for gamers who enjoy diverse gaming platforms.
In our review, the ROG Ally was praised as a portable Xbox Game Pass powerhouse, though some drawbacks include user experience quirks, battery life, and the absence of Steam Deck-style touchpads. However, its vibrant 1080p screen and powerful specs make it a highly enjoyable handheld.
The handheld gaming market is heating up, with new competitors like the Lenovo Legion Go S emerging. While the Legion Go S is pricier and not necessarily superior, a more affordable version is slated for release in May 2025. The Asus ROG Ally X, released in late 2024, also offers superior performance but commands a significantly higher price.
