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 the Linux-based Steam Deck, the ROG Ally utilizes 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 portable Xbox Game Pass powerhouse. While some shortcomings exist (user experience, battery life, lack of Steam Deck-style touchpads), its vibrant 1080p screen and powerful specs deliver an undeniably fun gaming experience.

Increased Competition:

The handheld gaming PC market is heating up. The Lenovo Legion Go S (Z2 Go, 32GB RAM) has arrived, but at a higher price ($729). A more affordable version ($599) is launching in May 2025, offering both Windows 11 and SteamOS options. The Asus ROG Ally X, released late 2024, is superior but significantly more expensive (+$300).
