The holiday season is the ideal time to treat yourself to a new handheld gaming console, and this ASUS ROG Ally deal is the perfect excuse to do so. While stocks last, Best Buy has the new portable console available for just $399.99 — an unprecedented 33% price drop.
Released in the summer, this is the Ryzen Z1 model of the handheld, which is marginally less powerful than the Z1 Extreme version. If you want to go for the higher-end model, a more modest $100 discount is available on that device, reducing the price from $700 to $599.99.
