The Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme is now available at Best Buy in the US for just $499.99 (was $649.99). Meanwhile, UK shoppers can also enjoy a hefty discount, with the same model down to £399 (was £499) at Amazon.

For Cyber Monday, the ASUS ROG Ally 512GB is $499.99 at Best Buy. My Best Buy Plus members get an extra $50 off, making this deal better than Black Friday.

I genuinely wasn't expecting any new Asus ROG Ally discounts to pop up this Cyber Monday. So, when I came across an even cheaper listing for the Steam Deck alternative earlier, I knew I had to get the word out ASAP.

SAVE $45: Upgrade your ROG Ally setup thanks to Best Buy's Black Friday event: The ASUS ROG 65W Charger Dock supports 4K HDMI output, fast charging, and peripheral connectivity, making it the ultimate accessory for gamers.

Cyber Monday sees the original Asus ROG Ally cut down to £399 / $500, making it even cheaper than the ROG Ally X.

It's not quite a sequel, but the Asus ROG Ally X is a revamped version of the company's original ROG Ally handheld. By and large, it still offers up the same kind of performance using an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip, but benefits from 24GB RAM and a chonky 1TB SSD.

This is not a drill! The Asus ROG Ally is on sale this Black Friday, with the price dropping to a solid $500 from its $650 MSRP, meaning you can pick up this Windows-based Steam Deck rival without its usual steep premium over Valve’s more limited gaming handheld.
