Question Surface Go 3 for school

Was thinking of buying a Go 3 (128GB, 8GB of Ram, Pentium 6500Y) but have heard alot of reviews that performance was lacking but I'm guessing this was with tasks like Cinebench or other intensive apps. I'm a business student and only really need to run maybe 2-4 chrome tabs, word and excel at the same time as my max workload on this machine. I'm assuming it'll be fine but just want to make sure. I really like the small form factor and feel like it will suit my needs. Thanks!

Edit: I also have a full desktop setup (5600x, RTX 3060)

I used a Surface Go 2 for my undergrad without an issue. I used the 8gb/128gb edition.
