This is a great list but if they want something smaller than a 13 inch, I would add the surface go too. Seems like what they are asking for.
If you plan to work only at your desk, where you connect it to an external display (USB-C, ideally, to get both power and video) and external keyboard and only use it as a tablet otherwise, then sure, it would work well. But using it as a standalone machine would be rather inconvenient.
