If you can get a tablet that runs Windows or a tablet with a program that emulates Windows, then in theory maybe.

However, we probably won't recommend that at all. You need a decently capable desktop computer or a very capable laptop computer to run Source Filmmaker at an acceptable standard, and like laptops are generally much weaker than desktops, tablets are (probably) generally much weaker than laptops.

I hope this is a joke. Even if you can run it on Windows tablet like Surface Pro, it’s a very silly and unintuitive way to use SFM. Besides requiring decently powerful specs, SFM also needs a keyboard and mouse with scroll wheel to use it properly. The best you can do with touch-screen input alone is dragging the clip, adding animation set, and rotating the camera around. For other processes, it’s either gonna be too hard or impossible to perform.

TL;DR, just don’t! Use a decent gaming laptop at least.

EDIT: There’s a version of Surface Pro 4 that most likely meets the minimum requirements of SFM but it’s a pretty darn expensive like Apple like expensive.

I can run SFM on my tablet. But I NEVER do unless it's just to check something.
My tablet is Windows OS based and runs Windows 10, but the processor is only an Intel Atom, the GPU is IntelHD Graphics (I have no idea what the VRam is) and it only has 2 gigs of RAM. SFM runs slower than a snail in a snow storm. (And just how many snails do you see in the Winter?)

Now, your tablet is most likely Android based, SFM does not run in an android environment. So I would say NO.
