Handhelds have become a big part of PC gaming, and right now you can score the ROG Ally with the more powerful Ryzen Z1 Extreme chipset for $449.99. This is the lowest price we’ve seen for this handheld so far and it even comes with some free bonus items to sweeten the deal. Normally this version of the ROG Ally would cost you $649.99 at full retail. So you immediately save $200 on the handheld itself. Because of the freebies though, you save even more money.
And these are definitely freebies you’re going to want. Right now if you pick up the ROG Ally from Best Buy at this price, it comes with a $40 case, specifically the official one from ASUS. Additionally, it comes with a 1-month free trial of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and a 60-day free trial of Crunchyroll’s Mega Fan tier. If you were to pay for both services that would be another $44. So altogether you’re saving $84 between the two services and the case. This is a screaming deal we wouldn’t pass up.
Now when it comes to the ROG Ally itself, it comes with a 7-inch Full HD display with a 120Hz refresh rate, 512GB of internal storage, and support for expandable storage via a microSD card slot. The ROG Ally plays games pretty well and actually pumps out some decent performance for a handheld. It also supports Dolby Atmos, so the audio experience is better than you’d expect as well, even just from the built-in speakers. That being said, it will be better with headphones or earbuds.
The one downside to a device like this is that they’re fragile. So you have to be careful when packing it for travel. That’s why getting that free case is such a good part of this deal.
