The Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme is a Windows 11 gaming handheld powerhouse. This premium model boasts an AMD Zen 4 based Z1 Extreme CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Its 7" 1080p display features a smooth 120Hz refresh rate.
Unlike the Linux-based Steam Deck, the ROG Ally runs 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 ideal for gamers who enjoy titles beyond Steam's ecosystem.
In IGN's review, the ROG Ally was praised as a fantastic portable Xbox Game Pass machine. While some drawbacks exist (user experience, battery life, lack of Steam Deck-style touchpads), its vibrant 1080p screen and powerful specs make it a compelling handheld gaming experience.
With CES 2025 in the rearview mirror, the handheld gaming market is becoming increasingly competitive. The Lenovo Legion Go S has recently launched, but its higher price and the upcoming May 2025 release of a more affordable version ($599, Windows 11 or SteamOS) present alternative options. The Asus ROG Ally X, released late 2024, also offers superior performance but at a significantly higher cost.
