Right now the Asus ROG Ally (Z1) is on sale for just $349 at Best Buy. This is $150 off and an epic price for this Windows gaming handheld. If you're craving more performance power, you can also snag the Asus ROG Ally (Z1 Extreme) for $499 at Best Buy. This one is marked as a Black Friday doorbuster, so get it while you can. Plus, note that My Best Buy Plus/Total members save an extra $50 on the Z1 Extreme model.
Although it doesn't beat the Steam Deck in our ranking, the Asus ROG Ally is still one of the best handheld gaming consoles we've tested. It's also one of the most versatile, since it runs on Windows 11 and can play games from Steam, Xbox Game Pass and more.
In our Asus ROG Ally review we loved this device's sleek design and comfortable ergonomic controls. One of its best features is its gorgeous display — you get a 7-inch 1080p display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It was also much brighter than the Steam Deck in our tests, coming in at 465 nits.
As for the performance, we found gameplay to be solid at 720p but framerates dropped when we shot for 1080p. For some, this won't be too big of a sacrifice, especially since you can play your favorite PC games on the go.
This deal won't stick around for long, so get it while you can. For more savings, see our Best Buy coupon codes guide and check out our Apple Black Friday deals live blog.
