I was wrestling with this idea of handheld gaming—kinda like déjà vu, ’cause, seriously, how many of these things have I seen pop up? Anyway, with the fuss over the Nintendo Switch 2, it seems like everyone and their grandma are pushing out handheld devices left and right. And then boom, here comes Asus with their ROG Ally. But this one’s got the Z1 Extreme processor, like some kind of secret sauce. Oh, and it’s $499 at Best Buy—guess they’re pulling out the stops to catch some eyes.
Now, imagine its competition: Valve’s Steam Deck, MSI Claw, Lenovo Legion Go. I mean, Asus is really jumping into the big pool, aren’t they? And there’s this buzz—don’t ask me why I remember this—about an Xbox version of the ROG Ally. Might knock down prices a tad, yeah? But for now, this price drop is where it’s at, especially with Windows 11 in its guts.
Talking about guts, the Z1 processor’s kinda cool. Great on battery, like those old school radios that just kept going. Tweak the screen right, and it’ll last a decent bit while you’re lost in a game. Plug it into the wall, and it’s like unleashing more framerates than you’d know what to do with. Think smoother gameplay compared to the Steam Deck.
We tried it out—yeah, I say “we” like I’m part of some elite squad—and this beefed-up version didn’t disappoint. It’s lighter, and the screen’s got all these colors that sorta slap you in the face (in a good way). Runs Windows 11, so it’s basically a pint-sized PC for gaming. Quirky, right?
Anyway—oh wait—if you’re all about snagging those deals, there’s a treasure trove out there. PCs, SSDs, hard drives, gaming monitors, you name it. Just dive into those pages if you’re feeling like a bargain hunt adventurer.
