Save $200 Off the Asus ROG Ally X Z1 Extreme Handheld Gaming PC With a Whopping 2TB of Storage

Best Buy is currently offering a limited-time deal on the Asus ROG Ally X, a premium handheld gaming PC, for $799.99 with a $200 instant discount. This new model, successor to the original ROG Ally Z1 Extreme, boasts several upgrades including more system memory, internal storage, dual USB ports, and double the battery life.

The ROG Ally X is powered by an AMD Zen 4 based Z1 Extreme CPU and comes with 24GB of LPDDR5X-7500 RAM, along with a generous 2TB SSD. This makes it more powerful than the Ryzen Z2, Ryzen Z2 Go, and Ryzen Z2A APUs found in similarly priced handhelds, such as the Steam Deck, Xbox Ally, and Legion Go S. The only more powerful APU is the Z2 Extreme, which is usually found in handheld gaming PCs that cost $1,000 or more.

One of the standout features of the ROG Ally X is its 7-inch display with a 1080p resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. The device boasts a massive 80Wh battery that provides an impressive 5-6 hours of playtime on a single charge. Additionally, the Ally X includes two USB ports, allowing users to connect peripherals or a larger display while simultaneously charging via one port.

Given the limited availability and high demand, it is likely that this deal will sell out quickly.
