For a limited time, Best Buy is offering an exclusive $150 discount on the Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme handheld gaming PC, slashing the price to just $499.99 (originally $650). As an added bonus, buyers will receive a complimentary one-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. The ROG Ally remains one of the top Windows-based gaming handhelds on the market, only potentially outclassed by newer models that cost at least $300 more.
The Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme is a premium Windows 11 gaming handheld featuring AMD's powerful Zen 4-based Z1 Extreme processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Its 7" display delivers crisp 1080p resolution at a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Unlike the Linux-based Steam Deck, this Windows 11 device offers greater flexibility for installing games from multiple platforms beyond just Steam.
In our extensive review, IGN's Robert Anderson noted, "The Asus ROG Ally delivers the portable Xbox Game Pass experience fans have been waiting for. While it has some drawbacks including battery life and interface quirks, its stunning 1080p display and powerful performance make it an exciting Steam Deck alternative at this competitive price point."
While newer handhelds like the $800 Asus ROG Ally X (with expanded battery and storage) and the $830 Lenovo Legion Go S Steam Edition (with double the RAM and larger display) do offer improvements, these premium models cost $300+ more than the discounted ROG Ally. For budget-conscious gamers, this Best Buy deal presents exceptional value.
