The Surface pro and Books are realy nice for being on the go and
working with projects where all assets are stored internally only
(not on external drives).
Why?
Because they lack Thunderbolt 3 ports or any TB port for that
matter.
Only USB3 port(s), which share its bandwidth along peripherals,
drives mouse etc, with slow transfer rates.
If a tablet hybrid is needed, I would suggest the latest HP ZBOOK
x2 14" powerhouse.
For a laptop the latest Dell XPS 15 laptops announced at CES,
really light and small for 15.6" and with two TB3 ports &
nvidia GPUS.

You might look also at the high end Surface Pros. The
Surface Pro 4 I think goes up to an i7 processor. I've had
the Surface Pro 3 for about 4 years and it has After Effects
loaded and performs pretty decent and that's with an i3.
The only drawback at least on this one is check the
graphics support. I'm unable to take advantage of GPU and
therefor can't use plugins like Mettle's ShapeShifer, FFP,
etc. (a couple of my favorites). That may be resolved in the
Pro 4 series though.
