Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme Gaming Handheld: $449.99
$649.99 (Save 31%) $449.99 at Best Buy
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 RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Its 7" 1080p display features a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
Unlike the Linux-based Steam Deck, the ROG Ally utilizes 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 is a significant advantage for gamers who enjoy titles beyond Steam's ecosystem.
In IGN's review, the ROG Ally was praised as a fantastic portable Xbox Game Pass machine. While battery life and the lack of Steam Deck-style touchpads were noted as drawbacks, the reviewer highlighted the exceptional 1080p display and powerful performance.
With increased competition in the handheld gaming market following CES 2025 (including the Lenovo Legion Go S and the Asus ROG Ally X), this deal on the Z1 Extreme is particularly compelling. The Lenovo Legion Go S, while offering a more powerful configuration (Z2 Go CPU, 32GB RAM), is significantly more expensive at $729. A more affordable version is coming in May 2025 for $599, but the Asus ROG Ally X, released late 2024, commands a $300 premium.
