Black Friday Doorbuster deals are here, and Best Buy has just leveled up your gaming setup with a $150 discount on the ASUS ROG Ally. This portable powerhouse is now $499.99 — its lowest price yet.

The ROG Ally is more than just a gaming console; it’s a gaming PC you can take anywhere. Powered by an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme processor, it packs 8.6 teraflops of computational power (yes, you read that right) into a sleek handheld design. Its 7-inch 1080p touchscreen with a buttery-smooth 120Hz refresh rate and AMD FreeSync technology ensures visuals are crisp, fluid, and completely tear-free.

Other highlights include a generous 512GB SSD for lightning-fast load times (and plenty of storage for your game library), 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and quick-charge technology that gets you from 0% to 50% battery in just 30 minutes. Whether you’re on the couch, on the road, or in the middle of a gaming marathon, the ROG Ally keeps up with your pace.
