I haven’t put it through its paces by any means, but I’ve used Overbridge with DT and ST on an i5 Surface Pro 7 and have enjoyed the setup for quick recording. (That new Augmented Strings plugin, when I tried it, maxed out the cpu with polyphony.)
In general the surface runs a little warm. Iirc it powers a LaunchKey mini just fine (one usb c and one usb a type, so an adapter or hub is needed), though I’ve usually used it plugged in.
One bonus is the Pen Tablet Mode switch in Ableton’s Look and Feel menu, which lets you use the surface pen or a finger on the UI pretty nicely . The interface is scalable, but still designed for a larger screen—it depends a lot on what you want to do on it, but for recording, it works pretty well.
