Surface Pro & Book are really good if you want to be on the go.
For mograph, editing etc I find the screen size too limiting on its own. Of course in emergency its doable and can get used to working like this, but its not the best solution for long hours. Since they can to connect to two extra displays daisy chaining DP you can have best of both worlds.
The only thing missing from the Surface line are high speed I/O Thunderbolt ports. Other competitors do have them.
About the Dell XPS, there is a model that has a touch screen using Wacom tech and can use wacom pens,
I think its not the 4K version but the one with the 1080 display.
Also comes in cheaper and better specced.
Surfaceproartist site has many reviews on 2 in 1 devices.

Good evening everyone and Happy New Year to you all.
   I'm in the process of eyeing a laptop this year and am doing some research on it. The idea of a good quality tablet/laptop (Microsoft Surface or some of the higher end 2 in 1 rigs) intrigues me because I do like to draw. The lighter weight of the machine also makes it attractive to me as my current beast of a laptop is a 17" monster that clocks in around 9 pounds. Not the best for travel.
   If a 2 in 1 is worthless for mograph, I would probably be better off with one of those Dell XPS 15 models. I thought I would first check the list to see if anyone has had the opportunity to work on some of the i7 2 in 1 models out there.
   I've got a Ryzen 2700x for the more heavy lifting at home, I figure if I need more horsepower than that I can use a render farm.
