I can't believe the Asus ROG Ally is already discounted ahead of Black Friday
The Asus ROG Ally has taken its first price cut this week, well ahead of Black Friday's offers at the end of the month. The discount comes as part of Best Buy's early bird sale, and drops a full $80 off the price of the Z1 Extreme model. That's incredibly impressive - I was hoping for a saving on the handheld gaming PC in 2023 but thought it unlikely considering the market is still only just getting started.

The 1080p screen absolutely glows in this smaller machine and in my many hours playing Arcade Paradise, Starfield, and Eastward under the covers until the early morning I've never experienced any discomfort from the form factor.
I would go so far as to say those shopping this year's Black Friday gaming laptop deals with a smaller budget this year should be taking note of this offer instead. What's more, Best Buy Plus or Total members can take this Asus ROG Ally deal even further, scoring an extra $20 off for a final $599.99 sale price.
