This is a Windows PC, so no, it won't run Android apps natively. However, you have a few options. 1) Run a program called Bluestacks, which is an Android emulator for Windows. However, it is based on an older version of Android. While the most recent Android version is 11, Bluestacks runs 7.1.2. That may or may not affect the apps you want to run. 2) Go for a nice-sized Android tablet and keyboard. I currently use the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6, which has been beautiful, and the S7 was JUST released: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/samsung-tab-s7?ref=P10T12R103&loc=BODY&CampaignID=1096826&eut=133088771 While this is Android, you still have access to lots of work/productivity apps, including Microsoft Office. When the keyboard is attached, you can switch to "DeX" mode, which works just like a Windows desktop. Plus, the Samsung tablets come with the S-Pen, which would be an additional cost on the Surface.
