In sum:

Diagnostic software between Launch X431 PAD VII & PAD IX is the same, but PAD IX Hardware is  much nicer.

VCI is different. PAD VII has smartlink C 2.0 while PAD9 has smartlink C 3.0.

PAD IX Android OS is much nicer (Split screen mode is a breeze) and 512Gb of Memory means it’s never going to run out.

Android OS, Slightly bigger screen, newer processor, large storage and memory tablet is a lot thinner. Diagnostic ability is the same.
