Buy or hire the MaxiSys MS909 if...
A higher-spec diagnostic tablet with a larger 9.7 inch screen and more onboard storage than the MS906 BT, aimed at garages wanting a faster, more capable multi-make scan tool. Its octa-core processor and 4GB of RAM suit running heavier diagnostic and coding functions. Now discontinued as a current model, superseded by the MS909 S2, but still in use in UK garages.
