All time low, and enjoy! :)
Originally hinted on the insufficient thread, but since the comment, 7% has been claimed and the “only 1 left in stock” could be the Amazon way of saying 1 limit per person
Warning: Reports from some users indicate that the listing is incorrect and the product that they received is not the "Z1 Extreme" model, but the regular "Z1" Proceed with caution.
I wasn’t sure of that initially as it was showing 0% claimed when I dumped it into insufficient thread
This is the z1 listing right…
i’d proceed with caution with this one. listing title has the model no. RC71L-ALLY.Z1X_512 which is the Z1 extreme model. However, the item model number listed is RC71L-ALLY.Z1_512 (non extreme)
Checked previous deal and people received the Z1, not the extreme. Will request to be unpublished
Seems reviews are for the Z1 also.
"4.0 out of 5 stars ASUS - ROG Ally Gaming Handheld Console - Z1 Processor, 512GB, 1080p 120Hz Display"
"They sent me the wrong Model"
I received the z1 instead of z1 extreme. I recommend don't waste your time.
Warning: I purchased this exact Amazon listing and I received the non-extreme ROG model. RC71L-ALLY.Z1_512
Proceed with caution.
Did u talk to amazon help asking for refund or anything?
I was able to process a refund using the self service. They emailed a postage return label and I did not need to speak with Amazon help desk.
Definitely not the extreme version
Neg to highlight the wrong model being advertised. Thanks to other commenters on this thread for point it out.
I ordered on the previous deal, and cancelled before it shipped after reading comments from people receiving the non-extreme model (thanks to those who commented). I ended up buying a Steam Deck OLED.
But worth noting that some people reported speaking to Amazon AU and being told they could return the non-extreme model, order local stock of the extreme model and Amazon would refund the difference to the US deal price.
I asked Amazon Customer service via chat support. They said it's the Z1 Extreme chip even though i pointed out the listing discrepancies
Can we trust?
Yes, trust the rep. Np.
I took Screenshots..but maybe Amazon won't be kind and honest
You can access the chat history.
However, all they need say is 'we're sorry for the incorrect information and inconvenience caused.'
'Would you like to proveed with a refund?'
Really just want a ROG Ally X price drop so I can now price beat at officeworks…..
With same ASIN number, if you visit the Amazon US site, the title shows Z1 no Extreme, listed for $399 USD.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8H1FHFH
ASUS - ROG Ally Gaming Handheld Console - Z1 Processor, 512GB, 1080p 120Hz Display
Since items are shipped based on ASIN numbers, you won't receive the Extreme version from this listing.
Featuring a 7" glossy display with Full HD 120Hz resolution, the ASUS ROG Ally Handheld Gaming Console is perfect for immersing yourself in your favourite games for long periods.
Mod Edit: Purchase at your own risk. The title suggest that it's the Z1 Extreme, but the product details, ASIN, reviews and past deal post indicates that it's the standard Z1. Last deal post for the same Amazon listing was moved to the forum for listing error.

Most of the comments on here seem to suggest Amazon are really selling the Z1 non extreme variant
This one actually has Item Model Number : RC71L-ALLY.Z1_512 this time, last time didnt have Z1 I don't think.
It's only in the title. If you check the Product details it's different.
Title: RC71L-ALLY.Z1X_512
Item Model Number: RC71L-ALLY.Z1_512
If you check the ASIN number (B0C8H1FHFH) at Amazon US, it's the non-extreme model
How is this deal different from https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/866342 that was moved to the forum as a listing error?
i heard there is design flaw with this model? apparently you cant use the external memory card.
the microsd slot is known to overheat and stop working/damage cards
You can buy multiple in separate orders.
I think the "1 in stock" is just bugged.
