On your opinion. What is the best, C3 or C4?

Hello all dears. I am completely new for Mercedes tools and softwares. I want to buy a dealer tool from China but first I will ask your advices:

- As far as I understand, I should buy C4 instead of C5, as Chinese C5 tools are using C4 features (I didn't understand this thing well, b ut I decided to pick C4). is this a good idea?

- Which computer should I buy? Can I install the software on any computer via virtual machine? (I think yes). If yes, which windows should I install on that virtual machine, which sections should I part my virtual HDD and about how much size each? (I saw such C: and D: etc. on some mercedes computers).

-I must install the softwares in Turkish language. Are the softwares multilangual? What I mean, if I download a ready-setup-virtual programs from forums, can I completely change their language to Turkish after running the programs?

I will be extremely happy if you help me about these subjects. Thank you all in advance.

Go with C4,
C5 are out-there, original-ones and there are pricey, i see them on ebay here and there sometimes
(
Note C5 is NOT FOR SALE in USA, ***ONLY LEASE**
On ebay it could be that you are buying stolen one
)
China made ones are C4 in package of C5

New OpenDos or Xdos is made to run on Win7 32bit and it's in AHCI-Mode(2~3GBs)
Old Xentry made to run ONLY on WIN-XP and it's in ATA mode (40~70MBs)
It's best to download Virtual off internet Torrent or Other internet source
Just make sure it's been patched for C4 and not C3 or else patch your self(it's available here on forum and on other internet portals)
It's semi-simple to change language on OpenDos and Xentry (i'm not sure for EPC or WIS, i have not tried it. But there is an option in settings)
Size for OpenDos Win7 32bit is about 80-90GB
Size for Old Xentry Win XP is about 70-85GB

Make sure to Buy Touch screen laptop since IT'S VERY CONVENIENT to use with Xentry/OpenDos

I use d6430-ATG(ATG--Touch Screen) ebay around $120-$300 (i bought mine for $13x) MANY Lenovo's DO NOT HAVE big batteries as D64x0 series
Make sure to choose SSD since loading it off HDD is not as fast
Now a days SSD 480~500 $120-200 ( i bought couple of new-ones not that long ago on sale for $79 each 480GB)

Anyway, which ever way you will go you will have to deal with problems
If you choose C3 there is C3 problems
If you Choose C4 there is C4 problems
If you choooooooooseeee something else there is something else problems
