Microsoft Surface Laptop and Unreal Engine question (lemmy.world)

I have always been a fan of Microsoft hardware, I currently own Surface 6 and am quite happy with it. However, due to circumstances, I will need to present simple project in Unreal Engine 5 in 6 weeks time and have no portable machine to run it on. So I am thinking about buying a new laptop and preferably it would be the recently released Surface Laptop with Snapdragon X Elite (X1E-78-100). I have found one YouTube video showing Unreal Engine Editor presumably running on the machine with 30 FPS. I know that the hardware is not a gaming one and I don't plan to use it like it but I would love to use it for my UE presentation. Does someone here have a Snapdragon X Elite machine who can confirm that Unreal Engine 5 is usable on it for simple projects?

Did you come across this? It looks to run pretty well

Yes, that is the one I mentioned in my post. It looks alright, I am just checking if I find any confirmation.
