Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme Gaming PC Hits Record Low Price

This week, Best Buy is offering a fantastic deal on the Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme gaming handheld, now priced at $449.99—a savings of $200 from its original price. To sweeten the deal, you'll receive a free official ROG Ally travel case, a one-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, and two months of a Crunchyroll Mega Fan subscription. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for a brand-new unit, even beating out Black Friday offers.

The Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme stands out as one of the top gaming handhelds available today, particularly for gamers who prefer not to be locked into Steam’s ecosystem. Running on Windows 11, it supports a wide range of platforms, including Steam, Battle.net, Xbox Games Pass, Epic Games Store, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, and more.

The Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme features an AMD Zen 4-based Z1 Extreme CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Its 7-inch display boasts a crisp 1080p resolution and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate, making it ideal for immersive gameplay on the go.

In our review, Robert Anderson noted, "The Asus ROG Ally feels like the portable Xbox Game Pass machine many gamers have dreamed of. Despite some usability issues, poor battery life, and the absence of touchpads similar to the Steam Deck, its powerful specs and vibrant 1080p screen make it a standout choice. With a competitive price tag, it's a contender worth considering."

Looking ahead, the handheld gaming PC market is heating up. The Lenovo Legion Go S recently launched with a Windows 11 version featuring an AMD Z2 Go processor and 32GB of RAM for $729. However, a more budget-friendly model is expected in May 2025, priced at $599 with options for either Windows 11 or SteamOS. Additionally, the Asus ROG Ally X, released in late 2024, offers superior performance but comes with a higher price tag.
