FULL STORY ======================================================================

Handheld gaming PCs are all the rage at the moment, with the Steam Deck proving to be the most popular for users who want a simple solution without paying too much. However, an alternative is the Asus ROG Xbox Ally: a Windows 11-powered gaming handheld PC made in partnership between Microsoft and Asus. And that device is now on sale at Best Buy for $499.99 (was $599.99) .

The $100 discount sees the device drop exceptionally close to a record-low price (it was $10 less over Black Friday). That means you're getting a
premium handheld gaming PC at a truly fantastic price that can also stream a whole library of games through the Xbox Game Pass Premium membership that's included free for three months. Today's best Asus ROG Xbox Ally deal

With an AMD Ryzen Z2A processor, 1080p 120Hz display and a large 60Wh
battery, you're getting a whole lot of performance for a new tempting price. $100 off sees the Xbox-branded handheld gaming PC drop to within $10 of its record-low price. Tempted? I know I am. View Deal

The Asus ROG Xbox Ally is a portable gaming PC powered by the highly
efficient AMD Ryzen Z2 A processor and 16GB of LPDDR5X RAM so it's a
slightly weaker version compared to the more expensive Asus ROG Xbox Ally X we've reviewed and scored four stars . Still, this spec ensures games remain snappy and responsive with graphics popping off the seven-inch 1080p FHD touchscreen display.

If you're familiar with Xbox gaming already, then holding the ROG Xbox Ally will feel like second nature, albeit with a little extra weight. That being said, it's not too heavy. At just 670g, the device is light enough to put minimal strain upon your wrists.

The deal also includes a generous three-month Xbox Game Pass Premium subscription that puts hundreds of titles at your fingertips, making it the perfect "pick-up-and-play" companion from day one.
