The Xbox Ally X, a true powerhouse among handheld gaming PCs, has quickly cemented its place at the top of many gamers’ wish lists. However, its premium $999.99 price tag has been a point of hesitation for some. We have exciting news: Best Buy is now offering a rare opportunity to purchase the Xbox Ally X at a reduced price.

The Xbox Ally X represents a monumental release in the handheld gaming sector, offering a formidable alternative to devices like the Steam Deck. It’s driven by the top-tier AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme Processor, capable of effortlessly running a vast library of games – a notable advantage for newer titles compared to the aging Steam Deck. Furthermore, it utilizes the innovative Xbox Full Screen Experience, a streamlined version of Windows 11 that optimizes system resources specifically for gaming. Running on a Windows operating system also means it seamlessly supports popular live-service games such as Fortnite, Call of Duty, and Destiny 2, which often face compatibility issues on Linux-based systems.
Our in-depth review lauded the device, stating: “The Xbox Full Screen Experience alone would probably be enough for me to recommend the Asus ROG Xbox Ally X to anyone looking for a new handheld gaming PC. But the fact that it’s so comfortable to use and performs so well is just icing on the cake. All it really needs now is a couple of software updates to really refine the Full Screen Experience and it will be a device for the history books.” This glowing endorsement highlights the Ally X’s exceptional comfort and impressive performance, solidifying its status as a must-have piece of gaming technology.
For those who have been waiting for a more accessible price point, these open-box deals present an ideal chance to own this cutting-edge handheld gaming PC. Even a modest saving can make a big difference in acquiring such a highly praised device.
