The Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme is a Windows 11 gaming handheld PC. This high-end model boasts an AMD Zen 4 based Z1 Extreme CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Enjoy its vibrant 7" 1080p display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.

Unlike the Linux-based Steam Deck, the ROG Ally runs on Windows 11, offering compatibility with virtually all major game launchers: Steam, Battle.net, Xbox Game Pass, Epic Games Store, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, and more. This broad compatibility makes it a compelling choice for gamers who enjoy titles beyond Steam's ecosystem.

As Robert Anderson noted in IGN's review, "the Asus ROG Ally truly feels like the portable Xbox Game Pass machine many have desired. While issues like user experience, battery life, and the lack of Steam Deck-style touchpads exist, the sheer fun factor is undeniable. Its bright, beautiful 1080p screen is perfect for on-the-go gaming, and its powerful specs, combined with this exceptional price, make it a strong Steam Deck contender."

Upcoming Competition:

Note that the handheld gaming PC market is heating up. The Lenovo Legion Go S, a more compact device, is available for pre-order, with a Windows 11 version (Z2 Go CPU, 32GB RAM) launching in January 2025 at $729. A more affordable 16GB RAM version (with Z2 Go CPU and Windows 11 or SteamOS options) arrives in May 2025 for $599. The Asus ROG Ally X, released in 2024, offers superior performance but at a significantly higher price ($300 more).
