Where to buy the Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme at a low price?
Let's not beat around the bush, it's Cdiscount which displays great exclusivity on this offer, placing the console at its lowest price ever recorded since its launch. Serious alternative to the Steam Deck, the Asus ROG Ally Z1 Extreme was very well received on the market, despite some slight flaws and a slightly high price position. It must be said that it was launched at a price of €799 when it was marketed.

Now, it is priced at €549.99 for the launch of the 2024 summer sales, making it its best price since its launch. Better yet, with code 15DES129, it goes to €534.99. If it had already tickled prices around €650 and on a few rare occasions, a few euros less, today it is its best price. Cdiscount makes no secret of it and announces that it is currently the cheapest.
If you are not a big fan of Cdiscount, be aware that other resellers also offer an offer on the console. This is the case of the Fnac Or Baker, who currently list the machine at €599.99 The offer is not as interesting, however. Let us also point out that this is temporary and is part of the summer sales, which have just started. Also remember that a ROG Ally X was recently presented.
