ASUS' alternative to the Steam Deck is cheaper than usual this week.

Thanks to a litany of Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, the ROG Ally can be had for closer to $1099 than its usual $1299 asking price. That sum gets you the standard model of the handheld gaming PC, which features.a 7-inch display, a Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, 16GB of DDR5 RAM and 512GB of SSD storage. 

If you're not familiar with it, the ASUS ROG Ally is a gaming handheld PC that looks like a Steam Deck swallowed a Nintendo Switch. The big difference between this and Valve's handheld is that the former runs on Windows rather than SteamOS. While this has a few downsides, it does mean that you're be able to run basically anything on it rather than be restricted to stuff that has Steam Deck compatibility.

For a round-up of deals and a sense of how each Aussie retailer rates when it comes to the ASUS ROG Ally, check out the table below.
