Depends on spec. Diagnostics software typically isn't resource hungryQuote:

I just checked AliExpress and you can get INPA with K+DCAN for around $15 with free shipping.
If your buying an illegal copy like the bcables one you may as well go the whole hog and get the cheapest from China.
€7 obd bluetooth dongle from eBay and down load the torque app. Sorted.
Wont do airbags unfortunatelyQuote:
