Cyber Monday is tomorrow, but a flash sale on the Xbox Ally is live right now, at least if you caught this in time. For a brief moment, the gaming handheld is on sale for $499.99 at Best Buy. That's a $100 saving on the portable gaming machine.

There's currently a countdown timer on Best Buy, showing that this is a limited-time deal, unlike many of the other Cyber Monday deals happening at the retailer.

Is the Xbox Ally worth it?

The Xbox Ally is a new gaming handheld from ASUS that's made in partnership with Microsoft. The device is a portable gaming PC that fits in the palm of your hand.

There are two devices from ASUS with similar names, and it's important to know the difference between them. The black Xbox Ally X is the more powerful of the two. It runs on an AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme processor and has 24GB of RAM and 1TB of SSD storage. The white Xbox Ally, which is $100 off as part of a Cyber Monday deal, is less powerful.

The Xbox Ally is a lovely device that's worth it as long as you have reasonable expectations. I'm highlighting a flash sale, so you need to act quickly to get the Xbox Ally at a discount.

If you happen to spot this article when there is still a while on the flash sale, you can read our Xbox Ally coverage from our experts. Our Managing Editor Jez Corden shared how the Xbox Ally has changed his gaming habits. He's also explained how the Xbox Ally boosted his mental health.

The Xbox Ally is a PC. It runs Windows 11, meaning it can play games from Steam, GOG, and other launchers. It's also great for streaming games through Xbox Cloud Gaming.
