SAVE $196: As of Feb. 29, get an open box Asus ROG Ally handheld gaming system in excellent condition for just $503.99. That's $200 off its regular price of $699.99 and a discount of 32%.


Handheld gaming PCs are a lifesaver if you have a long list of games you want to complete, but little time to sit at your gaming rig and play them. There's a reason Valve's Steam Deck is so popular, after all. But if you aren't so sure you want a Steam Deck and feel like shopping around, there are other handheld gaming PCs to choose from – like the Asus ROG Ally. It's an affordable way to enjoy resource-heavy games like Baldur's Gate 3 or casual titles like Stardew Valley while away from your computer. And right now, you can get one for a great price.

As of Feb. 29, you can get an open box version of the Asus ROG Ally in excellent condition for just $503.99. That's $196 off, or a 32% discount, on a new version's price of $699.99. Tech in this condition looks "brand new", according to Best Buy, and includes all its original parts and accessories as well as packaging.

This portable handheld is more than just a game player that runs your favorite titles. It's a whole miniature PC. It runs Windows 11 and is powered by a Ryzen Z1 CPU for a boost of power that can tackle most games you want to take on the go. It has a crisp 7-inch 1080p LED screen with a 120Hz refresh rate, and 16GB of RAM as well as 512GB of storage.

You can take it with you on your daily commute or out and about, but if you plan on playing resource-heavy games, you'll want to keep it at home. It offers about three hours of game time on normal mode and on standby, but when you switch to Turbo or Performance Mode, you'll get 1.5-2 hours. That makes it ideal for gaming on the sofa or in bed, all cozied up. Wherever you decide to play, this is a deal you shouldn't miss.
