A multi-make diagnostic tablet with an 8 inch touchscreen and up to 14 hours of battery life, aimed at independent garages rather than a single franchise. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity let it work with a separate VCI dongle in the bay. Now discontinued as a current model, replaced by newer MaxiSys tablets, but still common in UK garages.
