(Ill be asking for this on christmas so I want as many reasons to convince my father to buy it for me )

meh,  depends on what you plan to do with it.  It's a decent 2-1 for that price,  I remember seeing these at best buy for around the same price at some point in my life.  Not a huge doorbuster,  but not exorbitantly expensive either.

I would get it solely for Ryzen

Short answer, yes

 

What's your budget, what are your requirements and what's your usage?

Acer Swift 3 with 8250U and MX150, better GPU performance, slightly better single core performance, slightly worse mutli core performance.

 

Pros: Good performance, good build quality, good battery life, OK maintenance

Cons: Entry level IPS display (dim and low colour gamut)

 

What are your requirements?

If that's your only concern then get something  at least with MX150, faster than Vega 8 in R5 2500U
