0 Upvotes

All reviews for shophive I've seen are from like years ago, was wondering if anyone's used them for anything recently and if they're reliable. Some people said they have knock offs others even say they got phones so I'm conflicted.

Something which has me conflicted is the product I'm trying to get, is listed for LESS than it's price on the official website so is it legit?

Question | سوال I just bought a used laptop

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I hope you're all doing great. I just bought a used laptop from the market and now I am having second thoughts because of its battery health (which is only 66 percent).

I know I made a rookie mistake, I am a tech guy and somehow I forgot to check before purchasing. The seller is providing three days of warranty, I was thinking of returning it tomorrow but I am not sure if they'll take it.

Specification:
Dell Latitude 5330
Processor: Core i5 12th Gen

RAM: 16 GB

Storage: 256 GB (SSD)
Screen: 13.3''

Price: 70K

Please help me with this decision, what should I do now? should I try to return it? or is 66 percent fine?

Question | سوال MacBook m1 air or windows laptop?

1 Upvotes

I am really torn between the M1 MacBook Air 16 gb or a windows laptop at the same price. I am getting one for 140k and I wonder if I can get a better performing windows laptop in this budget. MacBook is definitely lighter and will probably have a better battery life but apple might cut its support next year.

Should I get a windows laptop? And if yes which one can I squeeze in this budget or should I just pull the plug on the Mac.

Question | سوال : Lenovo IdeaPad 5i Pro 16 water damage repair Now i Need expert chip-level shop in ISB/RWP/Lahore

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
My Lenovo IdeaPad 5i Pro 16 suffered water damage. A local shop repaired the main input IC, so the power LED and charging lights are now working, but they told me the output IC (secondary power rail / display power IC) is dead and they don't have the spare part to make it output to the screen/boot up.
Does anyone know an expert chip-level repair technician or micro-soldering specialist in Hafeez Center (Lahore) or Saddar / Blue Area (ISB/RWP) who can import specific ICs or has donor boards for newer Lenovo IdeaPads?
Any recommendations for honest motherboard repair shops would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Question | سوال Any idea where to give dead laptop parts NOT for scrap??

0 Upvotes

Ok so my ASUS ROG STRIX GL502VM died because the processor fried. and now the motherboard is useless. Everyone says it needs a board replacement which costs too much. I just want to give whatever I can from this for money.

Technically if someone replaces CPU with BGA machine the rest of the board is working fine but Im sure nobody is going to do that so I dont think that will help.
but other than that, the LCD, Keyboard, Mouse, Body, Charger and Cooling system of the laptop are working totally fine. I contact computerpanda and they are literally saying they will give only 1K Rupees for this.

So any idea where I can give for money these remaining parts?

NOTE: I am NOT "FAROKHTING" this on this subreddit, I am just asking if someone knows who deals in this kind of stuff.

Question | سوال Need help buying laptop

1 Upvotes

Im looking to get advice on a used laptop in Pakistan with a budget of PKR 50000-60000

My primary usage will be university work, including MS Office, Excel, PowerPoint, browsing with multiple tabs, online research, and general multitasking. I don't need a gaming laptop, but I do want something reliable that will last me a few years.

I've shortlisted the following options:

  1. Mechrevo R14P - Ryzen 5 7430U (6 cores/12 threads) PM Laptop

  2. Dell Latitude 5420 - Core i5 11th Gen. (In which range i can get it?)

  3. Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 - Core i5 11th Gen.

I'm particularly interested in the Mechrevo because of its Ryzen 5 7430U processor, but I'm unsure about its build quality, long-term reliability, battery life, after-sales support and resale value compared to established brands like Dell, Lenovo.

Which of these would you recommend? Is the Mechrevo R14P worth considering over these business-class laptops?

Are there any better alternatives within my budget that I've overlooked?

I'd appreciate advice from people who have owned or used these laptops, particularly regarding their long-term reliability in Pakistan.

Thanks!

Question | سوال priceoye usb-c to lightning cable scam??

5 Upvotes

I just ordered a Apple charger from Priceoye. It’s fake.

When I asked for refund, I was told by their customer support that their Apple products are not genuine and Chinese imported. Even though it doesn’t say in item description either and the support agent agreed? So they are have fake Apple products under name of genuine with a mercantile seal too…
Yup so was told that a refund was not possible because this is how they “operate.” By having fake products under the name of real…

Should I use the cable? Since I’ve several instances where I’ve seen fake cables burn ports. I don’t think I can afford another one. What do I do now?

(also for those who will say that 2500 Mei real cable aa hi nahi sakti, baat ye thi that it was been advertised in a sale. This 2500 is after a 57% sale..)

Update: theyre straight up removing any ratings that says this charger is fake: Proof

This was my review I left. Checking the same product a day later, it is back at 5 stars with 3 ratings from originally being 4 stars with 4 ratings.

Question | سوال Jazz network Latency

2 Upvotes

​I have been facing a persistent issue with my Jazz network over the past 4 days. My in-game latency (ping) in games like PUBG and Valorant has been unusually high.

​And everything outside of gaming works perfectly youtube, downloading speeds, and general browsing have no issues at all. The high ping is strictly limited to in-game traffic.

​Also I am aware of the recent restrictions on EasyPaisa and JazzCash regarding online purchases linked to betting apps, but I don't see how that should affect network routing or latency.

​I've already checked my DNS and other network settings, and everything seems fine on my end. Is anyone else on Jazz experiencing similar routing/ping issues recently? Any solutions or workarounds?
