The Mindray M8 Elite/M9 portable or compact ultrasound system is the most versatile and complete laptop style ultrasound we have evaluated. All clinical specialties are available and the performance is hands down the best we have collectively seen. The total package is typically more expensive than other laptop style systems, but if clinical clarity and flexibility are what you need, you cannot go wrong with the Mindray M8 Elite/M9 platform
