The SSD in a modern tablet is considerably faster than a hard drive in a
high-end server from the era when PG was originally developed so from a
performance perspective there's no problem (provided your expectations
of overall performance are realistic). The Surface 3 Pro in particular
has a pretty high performance SSD. Other tablets may use lower
performing devices so YMMV. I have PG installed on my Surface 3 for
development purposes fwiw.
As others have said, watch out for durability issues with SSDs that are
not explicitly specified for server/"enterprise" use, although in a
tablet where there is a local battery backup power source these concerns
may be not too relevant. Probably not wise to run a bank on a tablet
though...
