If you're interested in grabbing a portable gaming PC equipped with Windows, the Asus ROG Ally offers the best bang for your buck. Powered by the new AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chipset, the Asus ROG Ally has stellar performance for the price. Over at Best Buy, you can get the Asus ROG Ally for $620 (down from $700) during the retailer's Black Friday sale. My Best Buy Plus/Total members can get an additional discount that drops the price to $600.

Even at its regular $700, the high-end ROG Ally is a pretty great value. Sure, it's more expensive than the Steam Deck (even the new Steam Deck OLED), but it supports far more games out of the box thanks to running Windows.

The ROG Ally has a seven-inch 1080p screen with 120Hz refresh rate. The discounted model is the more powerful variant equipped with the AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme CPU, 16GB LPDDR5 6400 RAM, and AMD RDNA3-based GPU--specs strong enough to run the newest games with great performance. The ROG Ally also supports AMD FreeSync and Dolby Atmos surround sound, and comes with a free three-month subscription to Xbox Game Pass.
