Computer for incoming SA - Excel

So everyone on this site recommends the Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon - however through a family member I can get a 15% discount on the already cheaper Windows Surface.
Will be using this mostly for work (incoming IB SA), and for practicing Excel. Hearing the surface's keyboard sucks for excel but not sure

Appreciate any thoughts
