Any experience running SmartSDR on the new Microsoft Surface w/Snapdragon processor?

I am running SmartSDR/SmartLINK on an older Microsoft Surface Pro 4, which uses an Intel i5-6300U processor. I am considering moving to the current model but although they run Windows 11, they use the Qualcom Snapdragon processor. Per Microsoft's website, not all applications will run with the snapdragon processor.

Is anyone running SmartSDR / SmartLINK with the new Microsoft Surface?

    I understand that FlexRadio doesn’t support CAT, and DAX isn’t compatible with Snapdragon processors. I had been considering upgrading my Surface Pro to a Snapdragon model, but the feedback hasn’t been great. I’m now leaning toward the business edition of the Surface Pro with the Intel Ultra processor. If a Surface Go with Snapdragon becomes available, I might still pick one up for light-duty tasks.

    CAT and DAX will not run on an ARM processor, which the Snapdragon X is.

    Thanks for all of the responses. I am now looking at the last gen Surface Pro that runs in Win 11 :-)

    LOL … Nope, no iPad for me.

    The Surface Pro is a multipurpose computer and all my software and apps are in the Microsoft ecosphere.
