I have to chime in with my own thoughts on this. I have done a lot of testing, because it drove me nuts trying to pin point the cause (in some cases up to 5 times a night)
I tried very hard to make Realmworks run on the Surface, and here is my analysis.
I have tried RW on 4 different types of machines:
Machine 1 - Full Desktop - no issues (no surprise there)
Machine 2 - Surface I5 4GB - Multiple crashes - even raised bug reports, usually when using the player view and the maps
Machine 3 - Surface I7 4GB - Less crashes, but still crashed (interestingly it was opening Herolab files when it crashed here ...go figure)
Machine 4 - Standard I5 Laptop with 12GB ram. - no crashes so far.
My thoughts were that Unless you have one of the top end models, like the i7's you may run into problems.
The moral of my story is, will it run, YES
However, you may experience crashes, especially when you least want, or need it to (and forget trying to actually reproduce those crashes, I tried and tried and couldn't repeat them... but as soon as I stepped up to the game table, bam!)
I don't use RW for Map or player handouts anymore, I have switched to Maptools and run 2 instances on the same machine.
my 5cents worth.
