The Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme is a Windows 11 gaming handheld PC, the higher-end model featuring an AMD Zen 4 based Z1 Extreme CPU, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD. It boasts a vibrant 7" 1080p display with a 120Hz refresh rate.
Unlike its Linux-based Steam Deck competitor, the ROG Ally utilizes Windows 11, offering compatibility with virtually all major game launchers (Steam, Battle.net, Xbox Game Pass, Epic Games Store, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, and more). This broader compatibility makes it particularly appealing to gamers who enjoy titles not readily available or easily installed on the Steam Deck.
In IGN's review, the ROG Ally was praised as a portable Xbox Game Pass powerhouse. While acknowledging shortcomings like battery life and the absence of Steam Deck-style touchpads, the reviewer highlighted the device's exceptional 1080p screen and powerful performance.
With increased competition in the handheld gaming market following CES 2025 (including the Lenovo Legion Go S and Asus ROG Ally X), this deal is particularly compelling. The Lenovo Legion Go S, while powerful, is significantly more expensive. The Asus ROG Ally X, while superior, commands a $300 premium.
