Great deal. Choice is between this and the i5-1240P/16GB/512GB available at Costco right now for $660 (link[costco.com]). The i5-1240P has 4 performance cores vs just 2 on the i5-1235U - translates to 10% faster for single-core and 106% faster for multi core.
Both are quite good. The I5 is 15 watts vs 25 watts. It has more cores but that is difficult to judge because of the new efficiency cores.
Overall the Ryzen is most likely better. That 15k passmark is insane.
The Dell deal is much better but without that this would have been a good deal.
I'd mostly agree except the IPS screen on the Acer is much better color-wise than the Dell. The 3xxx series notoriously cut corners on the screen. My Dad has an older dual core Ryzen 3 Acer Aspire with the same screen and it punches above its cost class.

The 5625U outperforms the I5 in almost every way.
