As for what 'Excellent' means in regard to its condition, Best Buy's store page says that it works and looks like new, has been restored to factory settings, and includes all parts and accessories. It also mentions that packaging may vary or be absent, which is another important element to keep in mind.

And in terms of this ROG Xbox Ally's specs, this open-box model runs on an AMD Ryzen Z2 A processor and comes with 16GB of LPDDR5 6400 MHz memory and a 512GB SSD to hold your favorite games. Its seven-inch FHD 120Hz display will show them off with crisp, clear quality as well.

We certainly think the ROG Xbox Ally is worth picking up for your on-the-go gaming, too. It's earned a spot on our list of the best handheld gaming PCs as the top budget pick, with IGN's Jacqueline Thomas writing that ever since "Valve raised the price on its handhelds, the base, white Asus ROG Xbox Ally has become the budget champ, with comparable performance to Valve's handheld, but at a lower price point."

Thomas does note that it "does still come with Windows, which does hold it back a bit, but that's nothing a Bazzite or SteamOS installation can't fix."

During a time when tech prices continue to rise, deals like these are always worth thinking about. So, if this open-box, in excellent condition, ROG Xbox Ally (512GB SSD) has caught your eye, be quick to grab it while it's still marked down and available.
