I've been scouting a Surface Pro (6 plus a 256 card inserted for ISTA) as I'm tired of running VM. Thought would be to run everything including video work via race render on the surface.

Excited to follow along in your experience.
I totally forgot that the SurfacePro has a microSD slot (thanks apple for deleting everything..) That definitely seems like a feasible plan.

On a counter note, a VM is nice due to snapshots and I have a working backup copy located on my server at home. Since VMs are largely hardware independent, I could drag that to a new laptop and get going without any real big changes pretty quickly vs a brand new surface setting up ISTA etc again.
