I've been watching for Asus ROG Ally X deals from the moment it landed on shelves, and Best Buy looks to be the first to discount the powerhouse handheld. Sadly, this isn't a discount everyone will be able to snag this Prime Day as, while the Big-Deal-Days-busting offer knocks $100 off, it's only available to Best Buy Plus customers. Right now, the Asus ROG Ally X is down to $699.
99 from $799.99 for Best Buy Plus subscribers. This is a record low price for the best gaming handheld contender, and one that places it in the same ballpark as many lower-spec rivals.
However, you won't be able to pull a fast one and sign up for a trial like you would with Prime Day gaming deals , meaning you'll have to spend $49.99 on a membership. Those of you looking for the OG ROG Ally can also currently grab it for $549.
99 (was $649.99) without a Best Buy Plus membership. To get it for the price I'm really looking for, you'll once again have to sign up for the store's members program, which will then knock it further to $499.
99. Not ideal, but if you know anyone that has signed up, you could go ask them nicely to swoop in and save the day. Should you buy the Asus ROG Ally X Membership grumbling aside, the Asus ROG Ally X is a serious bit of kit that raises the handheld performance bar.
It's admittedly not doing anything different on the APU front since both it and the OG Asus ROG Ally use the same Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip, but 24GB RAM, up to 2TB SSD storage, and a much a 80WHr battery could make .
