No you are wrong. The VRR is different because it does it on the fly so you do not need to lock the Hz. Steam Deck does not have VRR, so it has to lock, but can lock to any Hz you want. Is not limited to 90Hz.

Lets say you have a game that fluctuates from 30fps to 50fps. On the Deck your best option to to lock at 30Hz (or an integer multiple). This looses the extra fps but this is not that bad, you get it on battery life. On ROG Ally that has VRR you can live it uncapped and get all the extra fps which is nice (and also have less than an hour battery life)

There is no benefit but since Valve went for this screen that has this capability why artificially limit you for the refresh rate you choose? Mind you that you can ran on 60Hz if you want to, so there is no downside.

not everyone needs to switch, if you don’t change your needs then you are perfectly fine with what you have.

Steam Deck (both LCD and OLED) is better. Your PC is aging to the point of being beaten by a handheld.

Yes I remember. You do your reservation, every user is limited to one reservation and there is a queue so everyone will be able to do his order, there is no luck. You want to go sooner so you get sooner the deck but you will be able to get your deck no matter what. They will do the same again but this time there is no chip shortage and no rush so it will go much smoother anyway.

I expect it will be quite difficult, but this time it will be sorted way sooner. SDLCD came out februart 22 and valve managed to supply enough in october 22. This is 8 months (and everyone was afraid it would take even longer). This time for SDOLED I expect the queue will be sorted before Christmas,

Yes, Pierre-Loup Griffais already said it should work, as long SteamOS 3.5 is installed, as 3.4 is not supported for the OLED.

Maybe Dave2D is a bit overiacting about something he observed, that you can only observe if they are side by side and he isn’t considering the benefits enough. We need more reviewers before we make any conclusions.

There are a bunch of reasons that make it harder to supply Australia. All of them add up. The biggest difference is the population, how many people live in Europe, how many people live in Australia.
