Where are all the Black Friday ROG Ally deals this year? — Here are the best Black Friday gaming handheld deals we've found

This handheld runs SteamOS and comes with an AMD Ryzen Z2 Go chip, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD. Its display offers higher resolution and a higher refresh rate than Steam Deck along with Hall Effect joysticks that don't drift. It's perfect for playing classic PC games on Steam or emulating games.

Windows Central review:⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1/2

This gaming handheld has an 8-inch touchscreen that supports Variable Refresh Rate and has a 120Hz refresh rate, BUT it has a faster Z1 Extreme processor, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage for $200 more. The device fits comfortably in the hand and runs the easy-to-navigate SteamOS. An early Black Friday deal drops this model of the Legion Go S to the lowest price we've ever seen.

Windows Central review (Z1 Extreme): ⭐⭐⭐⭐½

The Steam Deck OLED models aren't on sale this Black Friday, however, you can snag the base Steam Deck LCD with 256GB at a discount right now. It runs SteamOS, a Linux-based operating system that offers an interface that feels more like a game console and gives access to your Steam library out of the box.

Windows Central review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

It's hardly a discount, but the cheapest place to get the white Xbox Ally is at Walmart, where it is 99¢ cheaper than most other retailers, including Best Buy. This device has an AMD Ryzen Z2 A chip with 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD. It's especially good for cloud gaming and playing less-intensive games like 2D pixel art titles and indie games.

Windows Central review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

This version of the Legion Go S handheld runs Windows and has a white casing, but otherwise, its design is very similar to the SteamOS version. It utilizes a Z1 Extreme processor, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD. It's capable of playing a wide range of PC games from simple indies to intense AAA titles. We gave it a lower score in our review and stressed that the high price didn't match the performance of the device. This deal fixes that issue, bringing it down to a much better price for what's on offer.

Windows Central review (Z1 Extreme): ⭐⭐⭐½

The Xbox Ally X released this year, but it, unfortunately, is not on sale anywhere so far this holiday season, but I figured I'd include a link to it for those who want to check it out. I'll keep an eye out and will report back if that changes. It's a powerful device that has an AMD Ryzen AI Z2 Extreme chip with 24GB RAM, and 1TB SSD. It can be used to play everything from casual games to compatible AAA games.

Windows Central review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 1/2

The Legion Go 2 also released this year, and represents premium gaming. However, it's also not on sale anywhere this Black Friday. Still, it is a truly standout handheld gaming PC, thanks to its detachable controllers, FPS mode, and relatively large 8.8-inch OLED display. There are two configurations, but this one has an AMD Z2 Extreme, 32GB RAM, and 1TB SSD.
