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?

So at the end I took the risk, bought the Surface Laptop and tried Unreal Engine on it. The result is that it runs fine. With mobile rendering preview it runs stable capped 60 FPS in the 3rd person template project and that is all that I need.
