How would X3 Producer go on a Microsoft Surface Pro?

I am considering buying a Surface Pro to replace my ageing Toshiba Portege M780. Can anyone hazard a guess as to how well X3 will run on it, if at all?
 
Thanks

    It depends what you're planning on doing with it, to be honest. You'll want the Surface Pro 2 with at least 512GB because it will come with the 8GB of RAM where the lesser models come with 4GB. You're going to be pretty limited all things considered as to what you can do with it.
     
    I'm planning on getting one myself as a remote transport and for viewing lyrics and scripts.

    One of the things I had read was that Sonar is quite okay with 4 gig of ram - extra ram only being necessary when running modelling VSTs....

    Like I said, depends what you're doing. I run a lot of very heavy VSTs so I have 32gigs of RAM.

    Yeah true enough - I might hang back a bit on it...the old Portege is still okay at this stage. So I might await the Pro 2 release and check it out at the time.
     
    Thanks for your assistance.
