The Asus ROG Ally has been Black Friday'd - and you won't find a gaming laptop cheaper than this
Last week, the top end Asus ROG Ally received a hearty Black Friday discount, but some of you might not have spotted that the cheaper version has also dropped in price. For under $450, you can bag the AMD Ryzen Z1 version of the handheld PC, meaning it’s both less than most gaming laptops out there and the same price as the older reduced 512GB Steam Deck. Simply put, if you’re looking to play a chunk of your library on the go at 1080p, this deal is for you.
To grab what we consider to be one of the best gaming handhelds at the moment, you’ll want to swing by Best Buy, as the Asus ROG Ally Ryzen Z1 edition is down from $599.99 to just $449.99. Again, it’s easy to miss this Black Friday gaming deal if you’re distracted looking at the more expensive AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme version, and while that portable PC is also worth picking up if you prioritize power, the cheaper model could be a better fit for many of you out there.
For starters, if your budget is limited to under $500 and you’re eyeing up Black Friday gaming laptop deals, chances are you won’t find what you’re looking for. Even if you do end up finding something more affordable, mobile rigs arguably aren’t the most efficient way to run games on the go, as PC performance is now available in something with roughly the same footprint as a Nintendo Switch. Don’t get me wrong, laptops can still provide a desktop punch away from home, but not everyone is looking for a larger screen and higher resolutions.
