- IA900 Compatibility: It is the only tablet in the lineup compatible with the IA900, enhancing its versatility.
- Superior Processing Power: Faster processing capabilities ensure smooth and efficient diagnostics.
MS919: The Balanced Performer
- 9” Screen: Slightly smaller than the MSULTRA, but still sufficient for detailed diagnostics.
