Asus’ ROG Ally gaming handheld is down to $500 for Black Friday

If you love gaming on the go, the Asus ROG Ally is a solid alternative to Valve’s Steam Deck, especially now that it’s $150 off in this early Black Friday deal at Best Buy. For just $500, you can snag this powerful gaming handheld that lets you play all your favorite PC games portably.

The powerful ROG Ally runs on an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor along with 16GB of RAM. Plus, it comes with AMD RDNA3 graphics to ensure you get great visuals, especially when you run demanding titles.

The device features 512GB of storage space, so you’ll have enough room for games and all your save data, but it would certainly be better if it had 1TB or more. Alas, it has a memory card slot that you can use to expand storage further when needed.

The ROG Ally features a 7-inch 1080p display with a 120Hz refresh rate, which means it will not only deliver great images but also a smooth experience when you game.

According to our ROG Ally hands-on experience:

“Seeing this incredibly compact hunk of plastic and electronics, ostensibly with full PC power, you’d assume it would feel heavy in your hands like an oversized smartphone. Not so! While it’s large and only ‘pocketable’ if you’re still rocking vintage JNCOs, it should be light enough to toss it in almost any bag and forget it’s there.”

The powerful Asus ROG Ally gaming handheld for just $500 is a great deal, and it’s perfect as a holiday gift either for yourself or that gamer friend or family member who’s always on the go!
