PRITOM Touch 10 M10 2023, Allwinner, 2GB, 64GB, Cellular, Blue

The PRITOM M10 is one of the cheapest 10" tablets you can buy, ranking in the 92nd percentile for affordability. But that price comes with a 5th percentile RAM setup and a 17th percentile CPU. It's fine for e-books and light browsing, and miserable for anything else.

Let's be blunt: the Allwinner quad-core chip here is not built for speed. It ranks in the 17th percentile for CPU and 16th for GPU. That means it's slower than roughly 83% of tablets in our database. The 2GB of DDR4 RAM is the real bottleneck though, sitting at the 5th percentile. Android 13 on 2GB is a tight squeeze, and you'll feel it every time you switch apps or load a heavier webpage.

Storage is 64GB eMMC, which lands at the 30th percentile. Not great, but the microSD expansion slot helps if you're mostly storing videos and books. The 6000mAh battery is actually a bright spot at the 66th percentile, and connectivity is strong too at the 90th percentile thanks to Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth. Just don't expect the wireless speed to make up for the sluggish internals.

Stacked against the Apple iPad 8th Generation, the PRITOM loses on every performance metric that matters. The iPad's A12 chip absolutely crushes the Allwinner quad-core, and iPadOS handles memory far better than Android 13 on 2GB. But the iPad costs several times more. Against other budget Android tablets like the Antemper D126B-DP, Raemond M70 K70, SKYEGG K15, and MENTUME K80 K70, the PRITOM holds its own on price and connectivity. The 90th percentile connectivity ranking actually beats many competitors in this range. Where it falls behind is raw performance and screen quality. The 10th percentile screen ranking is a real weakness, and the soft plastic display is a common complaint among owners.

At USD 60 to USD 67 across three US listings, the PRITOM M10 is undeniably cheap. The 92nd percentile affordability ranking confirms it's one of the most budget-friendly tablets in our database. But value isn't just about the lowest price. You're getting a 5th percentile RAM configuration and a 17th percentile CPU. That's a trade-off you need to accept upfront. If you're in the US, the USD 60 listing is the best deal, a USD 7 spread between vendors. For Canadians, it's CAD 98, and Brazilian buyers are looking at BRL 800. The math works if your needs are basic. It falls apart fast if you want anything more.

The PRITOM Touch 10 M10 sits in a weird spot. It's cheap, sure, and the 92nd percentile affordability ranking backs that up. But the specs tell a story of compromise. You get a 10" 1280x800 IPS display, 2GB of DDR4 RAM, 64GB of eMMC storage, and an Allwinner quad-core processor. That CPU lands in the 17th percentile, and the RAM is even rougher at the 5th percentile. This is a tablet built for light tasks and light tasks only.

Our database puts the overall score at 32.7 out of 100. The best use case is students at 55.8, which makes sense for reading and basic browsing. Business use drops to 31.3, and art and design is a painful 17.9. If you need a cheap screen for e-books, downloaded videos, or a kid's first tablet, this might work. If you expect anything snappy, you'll be disappointed fast.

Skip this if you need anything beyond basic tasks. The 5th percentile RAM means multitasking is painful, and the 17th percentile CPU will choke on demanding apps. If you want to play games, edit photos, or run productivity software, look elsewhere. The 10th percentile screen is also a dealbreaker for anyone who cares about display quality. And if you need reliable Wi-Fi on 5 GHz, this isn't it. Multiple owners confirm it only works on 2.4 GHz. The 13th percentile portability ranking also means it's heavy for a 10" tablet at 1080g, so it's not great for one-handed reading.

The PRITOM Touch 10 M10 is a USD 60 gamble. The 92nd percentile affordability and 90th percentile connectivity are genuinely impressive for the price. But the 5th percentile RAM and 17th percentile CPU mean this tablet will frustrate anyone who tries to do more than read, watch downloaded videos, or browse lightly. The 3.9 out of 5 star rating across 3,781 reviews tells a mixed story. Owners love the value and hate the speed. If you need a disposable screen for a kid or a dedicated e-reader, it's fine. If you need a real tablet, save your money.
