ROG Xbox Ally Handheld Is $100 Off For The Next Few Hours

Asus ROG Ally Gaming Handheld Sees First Discount Since Launch – But Hurry!

ROG Xbox Ally Handheld Is $100 Off For The Next Fe...

Okay, folks, listen up! The Asus ROG Ally, that sleek little handheld gaming PC everyone’s been drooling over since its October 16th launch, is finally seeing its first price drop. And it's a pretty significant one, too. Both Best Buy and Amazon have slashed the price down to a cool $500, a solid $100 off its original $600 tag. If you've been on the fence about picking one of these up, now might be the time to jump.

Now, here’s the catch. This isn’t your typical lingering Black Friday deal. This is a flash sale, meaning it disappears faster than free pizza at a tech conference. The deal expires tonight, November 29th, at 10 PM PT (that’s 1 AM ET on November 30th for you East Coasters). Word on the street is that Amazon’s likely to bounce back to the original price as soon as Best Buy’s sale is done, so don’t dilly-dally.

For those not completely in the know, the ROG Ally is essentially a Windows-powered gaming handheld designed to give you a console-like experience on the go. Think Steam Deck, but with a slightly different flavor, thanks to its custom user interface. It's packing some decent specs under the hood. We’re talking an AMD Ryzen Z2 processor, 16GB of RAM, a 512GB SSD, and a vibrant 7-inch 120Hz display. Not bad for something you can toss in your backpack!

Here’s a quick rundown of the key specs for the detail-oriented among you: AMD Ryzen Z2 processor, 16GB LPDDR5X-6400 RAM, 512GB M.2 2280 SSD, 7" FHD IPS display (covered in Gorilla Glass Victus, thankfully), 120Hz refresh rate with AMD FreeSync Premium, and a controller that boasts contoured grips, Hall Effect triggers, and even remappable back buttons. Connectivity-wise, you’ve got Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4, and a decent selection of ports. All that packed into a device weighing just 670g. It’s a pretty impressive piece of kit.
