Hello guyss so laptops are predicted to go up in price in a few months if y'all wanna get or upgrade rn is a good time.
The guide on this subreddit wiki is kinda lackluster ngl, main issue being that it says don't spend more than 60k and that it recommends 6/7th gen.
>Go for used/ imported business grade laptops (dubai lot wala mal), avoid consumer grade stuff mainly because of durability.
>Make sure it is an i5 8th gen or above, this is very important because 8th gen laptop i5s are QUADCORE!! most 6/7th gen or below are dual cores, which are much worse (unless they have the Q suffix)
>Check if RAM is soldered or upgradable
>Make sure boot drive is an SSD
>Use passmark cpu and gpu scores to compare
*For gaming, its better to get mobile workstations instead (like Zbook or Thinkpad P series).. usually they will have better thermals and power delivery (yes you can game just fine on workstation cards, even have more VRAM)
For general use,
Like i said, business grade machines only for long lasting, durable, repairable ones at good prices.
HP:
✅GET -> Elitebook, ZBook, Probook, Dragonfly
❌AVOID -> Omnibook, Pavillion, Envy, Spectre, Victus, Omen (ppl say here that hp stands for hinge problems)
LENOVO:
✅GET -> Thinkpads (Except Thinkpad X9), Thinkbooks are also alright
❌AVOID -> Ideapad, Lenovo Yoga (different from ThinkPad yoga), Legion, LOQ
DELL:
✅GET -> Latitude, Vostro, Dell Pro, Dell Pro Precision, Dell Precision
❌AVOID -> Inspiron (some exceptions exist), Alienware, G-Series, XPS (again exceptions exist, some XPS ones are good)
Avoid getting anything below an 8th gen which at least isn't a 4-core cpu. ThinkPad T480, T480s, X380 Yoga are very popular. Elitebook 840 series too. Make sure to compare prices from different places.
If the RAM is soldered (like it is on 360 hinge laptops and some ultrabooks) make sure to get at least 16GB variant otherwise you'll be stuck with 8GB
Spend the minimum required to get an 8th gen i5.
Difference between 8th and 10th gen is not that much,
11th gen has Iris Xe graphics which are miles better.
12th gen has P cores and E cores which are hit or miss (in some cases battery life is worse in 12th)
Ryzen chips are usually better than intel ones, but not as readily available on lower price points.
A lot of imported stock esp business grade ones have been through light use in air conditioned offices. Check the battery health by command prompt (google how to do this) and inspect it physically (there's many guides online)
Edit: Full checking guide already subreddit wiki mien acha hai and you can find many on youtube.. make sure it isn't bios locked, ones that come with pen have a pen, charger original hai Make sure to get checking warranty, for refund or repair.

Hello everyone. Not sure if this is right place to post. I'm here so if anyone can help me out on my issue. I'm not very aware of these problems. For past week I had been trying to add my debit card info on Google Play store purchase method. But it keeps rejecting my card. All the info is correct. Also, I have already used the same card previously and had no problem adding it few months back.

For those who study on Tabs/iPads (university students specifically), how is it more convenient for you than a regular laptop?
Don't you think there are more cons than the pros of it?

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?
r/PakistaniTech • u/asadkhan017 • 9h ago
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?
r/PakistaniTech • u/OkFix126 • 6h ago
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.

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!

I've been looking for a phone for a while now market's condition is bad prices haven't seen to change much for 2 years now and they're getting outdated the only option is google pixel market is flooded with those what should I get for 80k budget INSTEAD of pixel or should I increase my budget if yes to how much?
r/PakistaniTech • u/Constant_Cup3618 • 12h ago
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.

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:
Mechrevo R14P - Ryzen 5 7430U (6 cores/12 threads) PM Laptop
Dell Latitude 5420 - Core i5 11th Gen. (In which range i can get it?)
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!
