I recently stumbled across this thing — the new wave of gaming handhelds? Wow, it’s like everyone suddenly decided handhelds are, I dunno, the new sliced bread. I mean, Nintendo’s Switch 2 kicked open the door, right? So, here we are, with contenders like the ROG Ally from Asus. Snag it at Best Buy for $499, they say. What caught my eye? The Z1 Extreme processor. Sounds like a roller coaster, doesn’t it?
Oh, and it’s not just going toe-to-toe with Nintendo. There’s Valve’s Steam Deck, MSI Claw, Lenovo Legion Go — a bit of a gang, really. And I heard a whisper (or was it a tweet?) about some Xbox-themed ROG Ally coming up. So maybe price cuts loom in the shadows as we speak. But today? This is your best shot at grabbing this Windows 11-powered gizmo. Trust me.
The Z1 processor? Efficient isn’t just a buzzword here. Apparently, it sips battery juice like it’s savoring a fine wine. Set the screen just right, and you’ve got a decent runtime for your gaming sessions. On mains power, though? It flexes its muscles, putting the Steam Deck in its place with smooth frame rates. Like buttah.
Now, we’ve poked and prodded this thing. Compared to the Steam Deck, it’s lighter. And that display? So bright, I almost needed sunglasses indoors. And Windows 11 compatibility, too — it’s like carrying a tiny PC in your pocket. Weirdly satisfying.
Want more bargains? You’re covered. Maybe you’re after top PC deals — hardware galore, or down the rabbit hole of SSDs, monitors, graphics cards, and more. Seriously, there are savings lurking everywhere, just waiting to be found. But enough tangents — where was I? Ah, gaming handhelds. What a world.
