The Surface you linked to is the little Go, I have installed Revit on mine just to see if it would even run (the Go has very low end graphics & chip) and was surprised to find it did, but very slow so you would not want to work on it. I got the Go for travel, email etc and it is fine for that.

Have used Revit on a Surface Pro, it runs OK but you need to be aware of the limitations of it using Intel Integrated Graphics even on the high end (i7) versions.

I have a Surface Book 2 (the 15 inch i7 Nvidia GPU option spec) and it runs Revit OK. There are a couple of tweaks (see blog post) to force Revit to use the external graphics as it will default to the integrated graphics in the tablet portion by default. The main limitation is you can only get 16 GB ram max, but if your project complexity is ok with that it will be fine.

Hi

 

Any idea why the graphic is "hacking" when using Revit LT 22 on a Surface pro 8 i7?
