Is anybody running logic pro x on a MacBook Air?

I have a 2017 MacBook Air 1.8ghz (turbo boost up to 2.9ghz), 8gb ram, 128gb SSD. I'm looking to run logic pro x. My question is; is anybody currently running logic on this machine? If so, are you running in to any issues? I am fully aware that this is not the most powerful or ideal machine to run this on or be producing music on, but it was a gift, so that's that. Obviously I'd be using external hard drives to save anything on I can to save space on the MBA. Any info or advise from anyone actually using this MBA would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

projects with over 40 tracks, + plug ins etc.

Hope that helps.

I have a Zoom R16 arriving Thursday that I intend to use as my audio interface (needed more tracks than my EIE Pro would allow). I'm using a MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2015), 1.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.

I'll be trying this out on Saturday when I do a little pre-production recording of our new album utilizing the Zoom and Logic X.

I'll let you know how it works out.
