If you've been struggling to get your hands on a Steam Deck in recent months, then you might want to head over to Amazon and try an alternative. The excellent ASUS ROG Xbox Ally is a Windows handheld that's said to combine the power of the Xbox with the versatility of a PC. The console typically sells for £499.99 at Amazon, but for a limited time only it's available at the heavily reduced price of £396.60.

The cut price ASUS ROG Xbox Ally is also available on Prime, which means you can expect next day delivery at no extra cost.

It's unclear how long the deal will last, so you'd better act fast if you want to take advantage of the deal.

The ROG Xbox Ally lineup is powered by an AMD Ryzen Z2 series processor, and features AFMF (AMD Fluid Motion Frames) technology for ultra-smooth visuals.

It also sports a 7-inch 1080p touchscreen with a 120Hz refresh rate and tear-free visuals.

What really makes it superior to other Windows-based handhelds is Xbox integration thanks to the inclusion of a dedicated Xbox button.

The Xbox button launches Game Bar, giving you quick access to system settings, performance state, and lots of other options.

This Windows functionality, on the other hand, means that not only can you play all of your favourite Xbox games on the device, but you can also download and install digital storefronts such as Battle.net and Steam.

This makes it a tad more versatile than the Steam Deck, so it's definitely worth checking out if you like to do your gaming on the go.

Microsoft explains more: "Together with ASUS, we've combined our strengths and technical expertise to provide a premium gaming experience that travels with players wherever they go.

"With the Xbox Ally, it's never been easier to access your favourite games - from Xbox, Battle.net, and other leading third-party PC storefronts - all from a single device."
