Lately they've dropped quite a bit and RX580 is now priced better than 1060 at my main e-tailer in EU.

I bought the HP Envy x360 and it's build quality is great, the reviews I have seen so far mention the same. The only downside is that the display should be brighter and the touch screen support is not yet available on Linux. If I remember right, the Acer Swift lacks dual channel memory, which is not a good base for the Vega.
Perhaps the worst physical aspect of the new design is its dual hinges. They feel weaker than the hinges of the Yoga 720 series and are more susceptible to movement when lifting and transporting the notebook. Stiffness is not distributed evenly throughout; the display tends to "fall" once it passes an angle of about 140 degrees or so. The hinges are just barely enough to prevent teetering whilst typing on a flat table and not much more. Otherwise, the lid itself is strong with minimal side-to-side twisting and light-moderate warping when applying pressure down its outer center.Last edited by Chewi; 12 April 2018, 07:17 AM.

I was initially going for the Ryzen 5 model but they dropped the price, making this one only £50 more. They've rated it at 15W TDP so you don't get the full benefit of Ryzen 7 but I gather that Vega 10 is still a significant step up from Vega 8. For the sake of £50, why not.
A 256GB SSD isn't enough for my wife so I did some investigating and ordered the parts needed to fit an additional 2.5" SATA HDD.
Unless you opt for a desktop Ryzen CPU, the only competitor to the Acer is the HP Envy x360 and while it benefits from a higher TDP of 25W, other aspects are quite poor, notably the build quality. It's also much more expensive. The Lenovo is on the way but it only has single channel RAM.Last edited by Decay; 12 April 2018, 02:35 PM.
