Black Friday and Cyber Monday are over, but Cyber Week deals are upon us and shockingly some of them are even better. One standout example is the Asus ROG Ally, a device that quickly became one of our gaming laptop reviewer's favorite gaming "laptop" when she got it in for review earlier this year.

This Best Buy Cyber Week sale drops the base model ROG Ally to a mere $399 at Best Buy, that's $200 off its original price! If you want the upgraded Z1 Extreme model, that's also at its all-time low at $599. 

If you are a Nintendo Switch fan or an avid PC gamer who's constantly on the go, the Asus ROG Ally is the gaming handheld that you've been dreaming about at a price we wouldn't have guessed possible a month ago.

Reviews: Across our most popular brands we agree that while the ROG Ally wasn't quite the Steam Deck killer we had hoped for, it remains a top-tier option for gaming on the go. 

Laptop Mag: ★★★★ | Tom's Guide: ★★★½ | T3: ★★★★

Buy it if: You want on-the-go access to all of your gaming libraries across Steam, Epic Games, Xbox, etc. right out of the box on a bright, colorful display. 

Don't buy it if: You already own a Steam Deck, it's not the Valve-crushing competitor we hoped for. If you're not one for on-the-go gaming, this is a lot of money to spend on a device you might not make full use of.
