The Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch may be two of the most popular handheld consoles on the market, but it’s not the only hardware in town. The Asus ROG Ally X is another formidable handheld with excellent specs. And today, one of the best Steam Deck alternatives also happens to be on sale:

For a limited time, when you purchase the Asus ROG Ally X through Amazon or Best Buy, you’ll only pay $700. At full price, this model sells for $800. We tested this handheld console back in September, and reviewer Jacob Roach said, “The Asus ROG Ally X improves on nearly every aspect of the original.”

Why you should buy the Asus ROG Ally X

Even $700 is a steep asking price for a handheld gaming console, but you can bet your bottom dollar that the ROG Ally X is going to give you one of the fastest and graphically rich console experiences you’ve ever had. As far as resolution and motion clarity go, the ROG Ally X outputs up to 1080p/120Hz. The 7-inch LED screen delivers a bright and colorful picture with excellent contrast levels, too.

• Asus ROG Ally is $150 off for Best Buy’s Cyber Monday sale
• The ASUS ROG Strix G16 with GeForce RTX 4060 is $1,100 today — usually $1,400
• The Asus ROG Zephyrus M16 is on sale — don’t buy the 4090 configuration

Online multiplayer is an integral part of the gaming world, and thanks to the ROG Ally X’s strong internals, you can expect fast and responsive gameplay, regardless of how inundated servers may be. Powered by AMD’s Ryzen Z1 Extreme CPU, an AMD Radeon RDNA 3 Architecture-based GPU, 24GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage, the ROG Ally X is a handheld powerhouse. You can also expect up to eight hours of playtime on a single charge.
