The Asus ROG Zephyrus GX531 is now available at its lowest-ever price, a remarkable achievement fueled by the outstanding performance of the Asus ROG Ally X. Despite featuring identical AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme APUs across all devices, the Lenovo Ally X offers significantly more power at a remarkably similar price point, effectively prompting Lenovo to readjust its pricing strategy and establish a new benchmark for its deals.
While neither headset can reasonably usurp the Steam Deck as the supreme handheld gaming PC, it’s beneficial to have substantial competitors in the market. The emergence of competitive forces appears to be exerting a positive impact on market dynamics, resulting in a price adjustment for the Legion Go, with its new price tag set at an attractive $551.99.
However, there’s a caveat to this alluring pricing: you must be a member of MyBestBuyPlus. The cap on low-cost options tops out at $100, effectively pricing the overall package at $599.99 – an already impressive bargain that remains unchanged.
For a limited time, Amazon offered the Legion Go at a discounted price of $511.79 over the weekend, mirroring the cost savings available at Best Buy. While the 512GB model is currently on offer, this exclusive discount applies specifically to this storage capacity alone.
The release timing of this Asus ROG Ally X deal is no coincidence, coming just weeks after the Legion Go was released at a premium price point of only $100 more. The Ally X boasts significantly enhanced storage capacity, with double the room for files compared to its predecessor, while its upgraded RAM ensures faster performance. Additionally, it offers a plethora of quality-of-life improvements that starkly contrast with the older Legion Go’s modest price tag of $699.
As the value proposition of each device becomes increasingly comparable, a significant power gap has emerged between Steam Deck’s LCD and OLED models, prompting Valve to take countermeasures. Rumors swirl that this move will soon enable SteamOS to be downloaded directly onto ROG Ally handhelds.
The Legion Go stands out as an exceptionally energetic handheld when considering value for money, and we’ve aggregated all its offerings with a substantial price reduction just prior to the Ally X’s launch. If current trends persist, the likelihood of the Legion Go achieving a $200 price point before the end of the year is increasingly plausible.
