  No RAM specs, that could be a not buy depending on whats inside and what quad core processor it uses, to vague to gauge a real comparison to the somewhat knowledgeable consumer.

  I read somewhere it was
  
  M7= 1.6GHz dual-core A9 processor with 1GB of RAM
  
  m10= quad-core Cortex A7 CPU with 1GB of RAM

  You mean, the same almost every tablet, laptop and desktop makers do: Put the logo of their brand in the external case of anything built by little chinese children in Foxconn factories.
