It does allow for better (integer) downscaling for 1280x800 since it is twice as much.
Very few people who are looking for a mobile gaming device like a Ally/Legion is cross shopping for a gaming laptop.

Also people complaining about VRR have no idea how it actually works (not accusing you or anything just a general observation I'm seeing).

VRR is useful for syncing your FPS and Hz, preventing screen tearing and saving a bit of energy. However, it's not a necessity. Even without VRR, a high Hz display, like 144Hz, still offers a fast and smooth visual experience, showing new frames quickly. Pro gamers sometimes skip VRR to get info on the screen faster. Also, there's no need for a perfect match between FPS and Hz; a high Hz display will show frames fast, regardless. While VRR can be a nice to have, it's not essential, especially for handheld devices with high Hz screens.
Why the heck does this have QHD on it with only a 9" screen? Waste of battery life and FPS. FHD is plenty for such a small screen.

Seems like it would combine well with $100 off $500 at Lenovo through Amex. Blue Cash Preferred here.

So... This or the base steamdeck 64 GB (recent sale) + TB SSD combo I just ordered?

It depends on how much you value the display, battery life and portability. The display on this is far superior, but it's also a behemoth of a device and because steamOS provides granular control of frequencies, TDP and frame rate you can stretch the deck's battery in a way that most likely isn't going to be possible on this thing.

Same question here. If they don't charge then it won't work

No VRR, not really superior except in resolution.
