Update: This deal is going in and out of stock (mostly out of stock).
PlayStation, Switch, Xbox, gaming PCs... it seems like there's no way around the fact that you have to pay a lot of money just to be able to play a game in 2026. Fortunately, there's one deal today on a handheld gaming PC that's cheaper than most other options out there. Amazon Resale is currently offering used "like new" Asus ROG Xbox Ally handheld gaming PCs for just $399.36 with free shipping. Amazon Resale is Amazon's official account for used goods. The products are sorted by condition, with "Like New" being the best. Amazon's 30-day return policy applies to Resale items as well.
Handheld gaming PCs grant you access to a nearly limitless library of PC games that you can play anytime and anywhere. IGN's Jackie Thomas wrote up a great piece on why the Steam Deck no longer gets her recommendation. The main reason is that the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally offers a nearly identical gaming experience at a lower price in today's market.
The Xbox Ally is a recent model (October 2025) featuring the AMD Ryzen Z2 A CPU, 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM, and 512GB SSD. The nomenclature might be confusing, but the Xbox Ally is more of an evolution of the the ROG Ally handheld than it is an actual Xbox console. The Xbox Ally runs Windows 11 software, but it boots up straight into the Xbox App. Because you're not loading Windows Explorer, you're freeing up resources typically used for non-gaming background tasks. Not only does this mean you'll get better performance, you'll also get a seamless and tailored user experience.
The Asus ROG Xbox Ally (non-X) model is equipped with a newer generation Ryzen Z2 A processor, which is comparable in performance to the Steam Deck's APU. It's not nearly as powerful as the Ryzen Z2 Extreme found in the higher-end Xbox Ally X, so don't expect high flying performance in demanding games like Crimson Desert or Monster Hunter. However, there are literally thousands of outstanding games available that don't need the most powerful system for you to enjoy.
