It's just "OK". You really have to consider if Windows Arm supports all the software you need and keep in mind that it is not a high power CPU/igpu.
The benefit of snapdragon is the battery life and usually lighter weight form factor.
For comparison I bought an Asus with the same CPU and RAM, but with a 3k OLED screen(non touch) and only 512gb drive for $450 open-box. It weighs 2.9lbs.
I personally don't like gimmicky 2-in-1s and don't think it's worth $550 for a 1920x1200 screen at 3.28lbs. But all depends on your use case.

I replaced an older Lenovo which was a 2-in-1 with a touchscreen, and I love both features and wouldn't consider a laptop without either.
Glorified Chromebook w/ Windows ARM64 instead of ChromeOS.
Let these get to liquidation pricing before even considering.
Oh wait, I'm sure you do 4K video renders every day for your massive YouTube channel.
