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 RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Its 7" 1080p display features a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.

Unlike its Linux-based Steam Deck competitor, the ROG Ally's Windows 11 compatibility opens it up to a vast library of games across various launchers: Steam, Battle.net, Xbox Game Pass, Epic Games Store, GOG, Ubisoft Connect, and more. This broader compatibility makes it a compelling choice for gamers beyond the Steam ecosystem.

In our review, IGN's Robert Anderson praised the ROG Ally as a fantastic portable Xbox Game Pass machine. While acknowledging some drawbacks like battery life and the lack of Steam Deck-style touchpads, he highlighted the Ally's enjoyable gameplay experience and its bright, beautiful 1080p screen, perfect for on-the-go gaming.

Competition Heats Up:

Note that the handheld gaming market is becoming increasingly competitive. The Lenovo Legion Go S, a more compact device, is now available for pre-order, launching in January 2025 (higher-end model at $729) and May 2025 (more affordable $599 version). The Asus ROG Ally X, released in 2024, also offers superior performance but at a significantly higher price.
