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 of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. It features a sharp 7" 1080p display with a 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 appealing to gamers who enjoy titles beyond Steam's ecosystem.

In our review, Robert Anderson praised the ROG Ally as a fantastic portable Xbox Game Pass machine. While acknowledging some drawbacks (user experience, battery life, lack of Steam Deck-style touchpads), he highlighted the enjoyable gaming experience provided by its bright 1080p screen and powerful specs.

The handheld gaming PC market is heating up. CES 2025 showcased the more compact Lenovo Legion Go S (pre-orders open), launching in January 2025 with a Z2 Go chip, 32GB RAM, and Windows 11 for $729. A more affordable 16GB RAM version (Windows 11 or SteamOS) will arrive in May 2025 for $599. The Asus ROG Ally X, released in 2024, offers superior performance but at a significantly higher price ($300 more).
