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 new unit, beating even Black Friday deals. The offer includes a free ROG Ally travel case, a month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and two months of Crunchyroll Mega Fan.

The Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme is a Windows 11 gaming handheld PC. This premium model boasts an AMD Zen 4 based Z1 Extreme CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. It features a vibrant 7" 1080p display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
Unlike the Linux-based Steam Deck, the ROG Ally runs on Windows 11, offering compatibility with virtually all major game launchers: Steam, Battle.net, Xbox Game Pass, Epic Games Store, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, and more. This broad compatibility makes it ideal for gamers who enjoy titles beyond Steam's ecosystem.
In our review, Robert Anderson praised the ROG Ally as a fantastic portable Xbox Game Pass machine. While acknowledging minor drawbacks like user experience quirks, battery life, and the absence of Steam Deck-style touchpads, he highlighted its exceptional 1080p screen and powerful performance.
Competitive Landscape:
Note that the handheld gaming market is rapidly evolving. The Lenovo Legion Go S, a more compact device, is available for pre-order, launching in January 2025 (Z2 Go, 32GB RAM, $729) and a more affordable version in May 2025 (Z2 Go, 16GB RAM, $599, Windows 11 or SteamOS). The Asus ROG Ally X, released in 2024, offers superior performance but at a significantly higher price.
