I am always on the hunt for some good deals, usually when it comes to games, but sometimes there's just this fantastic discount on hardware that really can't be passed up. I would say this is one of them. Over on Best Buy, there's a deal to get an ROG Ally in excellent condition for $399, the same price as the cheapest Steam Deck, and it could be one of the best deals on a handheld right now.

ROG Ally

Spotted initially by Wario64, this is probably the best handheld discount right now. The ROG Ally has a Z1 Extreme APU in it, making it more powerful than a Steam Deck, and with it using Windows, we can play games like Battlefield and Call of Duty on it with ease. This device is also more powerful than the upcoming ROG Xbox Ally (the non-X version) and runs a lot of games relatively well. The ROG Ally does have some issues with the SD card slot, the screen isn't OLED, and the battery life isn't the best, but I would still consider this very much worth buying at the $399 price tag.

We may be SteamDeckHQ, but we love all handhelds and have to call out an amazing deal when we see it. This is a wonderful deal overall, and if you want an alternative Windows handheld that is more powerful and won't break your bank, this is it.

The product is an Open Box, which means it has been used before, but there are some options. Depending on the condition of the ROG Ally, the price can go down. The best condition will be $399, but if you are okay with "Good" condition, it will go down to $380.99, or "Fair" condition for $376.99. I would personally go with Excellent, since $25 savings for more wear and tear isn't a great discount, but it's nice to see options that make it even cheaper.
