What are your thoughts on this laptop for Wirecast 5, streaming, editing, etc?

Would anyone consider using a Surface Pro 3 with Wirecast? It has a mini display port, you could use a BlackMagic Mini Recorder with it. Paul Thurrott wrote a great article on the Surface Pro 3. http://winsupersite.com/mobile-devices/surface-pro-3-hardware-expansion I wonder if he uses Wirecast or if he could test Wirecast 5 on the Surface Pro 3 with a BM MiniRecorder.

thats a great machine. When it comes to needing a mobile setup you cant go wrong with that but if you have a stable setup for your studio.. nothing beats a desktop

Thanks Andrew! I looked at the laptop demo unit in the store and..........it's huge. It's bigger than 17". The search continues....
