But if you don’t want to wait for them to arrive on the market or spend a lot of money on full prices, then ASUS’ Z1 Extreme-powered ROG Ally handheld is down to $499.99 shipped at Best Buy right now. This is regularly a $650 gaming handheld which is now seeing a solid $150 discount. This is the lowest price we first tracked for this model during Black Friday last year. It comes with a 7-inch screen and 512GB storage, and you can learn more about it below.
The ASUS ROG Ally remains one of the popular picks on the market among those looking to snag a decently priced handheld gaming device.
