I’m currently running Analog Lab on my Surface Pro 7 with mostly no issues, but it’s getting long in the tooth. I’m looking at possibly getting the new Surface Pro 11 Copilot+, which is built on the Snapdragon processor. Does anyone have any experience with ALP on that device? Will it even run on it? The only other option I’d consider is the Intel-based version of the Surface Pro 11, but it’s $300 more expensive.
I don’t have experience with the Surface, but looking at the specs and Analog Lab’s minimum system requirements, I can’t see why it wouldn’t work!
I just bought a Lenovo T14s which features a Snapdragon X as well.
So far, I could run successfully all my music software on it. The main question is, if you have drivers for your audio interface / keyboards / controllers.
I documented my findings in these 2 videos:

Ah, yes, that is the challenge. I currently use the PreSonus Audiobox USB 96 with my Surface Pro 7. I’d of course want to use that on the Surface Pro Copilot+ (Snapdraon) tablet with my Keylab 88 Mk II.
I’m sure it will work on the Intel version. I am just seeing very little on using Analog Lab or USB interfaces (like my PreSonus USB 96) on the Snapdragon (ARM64) version.
If it is class compliant, you are good. Microsoft will provide an ASIO driver for such devices soon.
Besides that, up to my knowledge, only Steinberg and RME provide ARM drivers at the moment.
