The Nintendo Switch may be one of the best Black Friday deals out there, but perhaps it’s time to consider an even better alternative. The Asus ROG Ally handheld is currently listed at a price of £599 with £100 off. While it may be more expensive than a Switch, it offers a powerful, future-proof, and modern gaming experience.

With the Nintendo Switch being six years old, rumors are swirling about a potential successor on the horizon. This would make the current Switch model even more outdated. The Asus ROG Ally, on the other hand, has recently been released and boasts impressive specs such as an AMD Ryzen Z1 Extreme chip, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. Not only will it outperform the Switch, but it is also more prepared for the future.

Furthermore, the Asus ROG Ally runs Windows 11, meaning buyers have access to an extensive library of PC games and platforms such as Steam and the Epic Games Store. While it may not support Nintendo games, there are plenty of great alternatives available. Additionally, popular titles from Sony and Microsoft can be played on the Asus ROG Ally, which is not possible on the Nintendo Switch.

The best part is, you don’t even need to wait for official Black Friday deals to start next week as the price cut is already available. So, why not consider the Asus ROG Ally over a Black Friday Switch deal?
