Nah not really into benchmarks. I figured it would be fine with excel no matter what as its not that crazy CPU intesive anyways. My big worry was on the touch interface with how easy it would be adjust scripting or individual cell rules.
Manipulating a spreadsheet via touch in Excel 2013 is a decent experience, takes a little practice to figure out the behavior, for instance if you want to resize a cell you first tap on a cell boarder that activates a resizing arrow and then do the resize, rather than grab the cell boarder directly and then moving it like it would work with a mouse.
Manipulating scripting on the other hand doesn't offer any touch optimizations, it's the same desktop UI that's always been there. It's possible to do it but definitely not a touch UI. A device with a digital pen can help out a lot with working with a desktop UI in these kinds of situations. It's not going to replace a keyboard and mouse for speed but it's definitely possible to do quick stuff debugging code and make small edits and changes.
