Can anyone share any experiences with running PostgreSQL on a tablet ? (Surface Pro 3, ASUS Transformer)
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...
