Will a Surface Pro Run AutoCADLT Smoothly?

Hello everyone!

I have a question, but first a bit of background. I am working for an animal pharmaceutical company that is growing rapidly and I am their first draftsman at this site, so I'm trying to bring the technology out of the stone age a bit. I use a laptop and dock for all my drafting currently and I want to see if I can get the IT department to replace my laptop with a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 or 4. Currently if I want to work on a vessel P&ID, update a drawing or something else I have to gown out, go into production, and hand sketch my changes. Then get back into my street clothes draft it in my office then go back in to walk it down again to verify the changes. This becomes very time consuming and I am hoping I can cut out the middle by just being able to bring in my surface, and update the drawing real-time.

Does anyone have any experience using a surface in the field? How do thry handle the wear and tear of being tsken from site to site? I only run AutoCADLT 2010 so it isn't a full version and it's old, again behind a bit. I know I will probably need at least an i5 with 8 gigs of ram for my work. We use Google drive for all our files so I have my main files in there with weekly backups. I currently only have about 5 gigs of drawings. I'm curious also about the pen, how do people like using the stylus while working? Obviously I would try and convince them to get the dock so I can run my monitors when I'm back in the office, has anyone had issues with the docks?

My boss seems to be on board, he likes the idea of me being able to walk production areas and make changes more effectively on as built as well as working with production on future floor plans.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to present the idea realistically and be as practical cost wise as well. Since its a global company I'd like to show them it could work and try to get it implemented on other sites to help other drafters or engineers in my position.

Thanks for the time everyone!
