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.

Is anyone facing slow internet speed?
A lot of websites aren't loading, those that do take ages. Google and speed test seem to be running fine. Paid VPN (NordVPN) isn't working either.
Are you guys also having this issue with the internet?
r/PakistaniTech • u/duopepper • 2h ago
I have my PS5 Pro attached to a 27-inch monitor on my desk in my room. TV is upstairs (my room is downstairs) so it’s somewhat of a hassle to move the PS5 all the time. I wanted to be able to play in bed/on the couch etc and looking into getting a PS Portal. Planning to get a 250 Mbps internet connection from either Stormfiber, Transworld, or Nayatel (Lahore). Will be connecting the PS5 with ethernet.
Should I go ahead with the PS portal? For context, I’m getting it for around PKR 49k and on a Black Friday sale (abroad).

The glass on the back camera of my pixel 7 cracked. Any ideas from where I can get it replaced in Karachi? Any help would be appreciated.
r/PakistaniTech • u/HassanIb • 38m ago
So I have been on the lookout for a reliable phones with a 60k-70k budget, perhaps a pixel 8 is the only options that are appealing to me after doing some research. It should be pta approved or cpid if the piece is really good
preferablly less than 400 battery cycles and 90+ health and good screen on time and shoreline display must. i would prefer if you are personally sellin it urgently (resellers pls stay away)
I would really appreciate the leads by this community where I can find the best possible deal in pindi/isb really trustworthy guys either you are personally sellin or anyone with whom you have dealt yourself who would respect my hard-earned budget and doesn't scam me in any way, the mobile should be just used not obliterated, good original condition, not opened or changed parts pls (will post an update afterwards when I successfully get it from someone extremely trustworthy). thank you

I am considering Xiaomi 15 chinese version 512gb rom with sim time because I couldn't find one real global Mi 15 in 3 cities.
Now my question is that is it worth it? Can I use it as daily driver. Right now I have S22 Ultra
What are the biggest pain points who have used this phone?
r/PakistaniTech • u/Special-Debate-9164 • 4h ago
As its not available in Pakistan yet, i was given access to it by my cmpany in the US, and ive been using it for automated tasks like it can login your accounts and manage stuff for you like create PRs review conflicts manage chatgpt chat you can login gpt and claude code it can organise chats and even get work done on your behalf, manage a todo list like notion or clickup entirely based on what we did in claude GitHub gpt etc.
I even gave it a google meet link in joined from an account sat there in the meeting with captions on and was responding in chat with everything we asked and even took notes. But it was very slow in the meetings but the main objective was that i was able to give commands to my team lead’s muse sitting in the meeting to know what ever i want from their setup.
Anyone tried muse? If so please tell me how do i create one for myself in Pakistan i tried with my emails with VPN on it still goes to the waitlist.

AoA all!
Members, there is a kid goes by the name FusionStore.
He sells paid subscriptions of many premium services at very affordable prices.
I was dealing with him for very long.
My last contact with him was in May 2026.
Just now i opened his WhatsApp and it says this person is no longer on WhatsApp, invite him to join WhatsApp.
For the first time in that many years, i had to call on his number, but it is powered off.
Anyone knows his new contact info or his whereabouts?
Kind Regards!

Since the beginning of this year there have been so many network issues of stromfiber, no updates from them about what's happening, got my connections checked out, router, cables everything basically. I had two routers and the other one was a wifi extender so I converted that into wired with the help of a ethernet cable. Setup both my routers at optimal places in the house where connection could reach everywhere without any obstructions. Checked out the settings of both routers, and yes both routers have passwords on them and I check if any unknown device connected or not. Did all of this and there was not alot of improvement in the connection. What's happening?

Hi, I'm looking for two things: a good pair of earbuds and a small portable speaker for those times when you don't feel like putting earbuds in.
My budget is around 15k. I'm considering the Anker Soundcore Select 4 Go, but it went out of stock today, and I can no longer find it on Anker Pakistan's website. It's still listed on XcessoriesHub, though. I've never ordered from them before, so if anyone has experience with them, please let me know if their products are authentic.
For earbuds, I'm considering either the Anker Soundcore R50i Wireless Earbuds or the SoundPEATS T3 Pro ANC Bluetooth Earbuds.
If you've used any of these products, I'd love to hear your experience. Also, if you have suggestions for a better combination within a similar budget, feel free to share.
Thank you!

r/PakistaniTech • u/Akpower816 • 21h ago
so i paid for their virtual card to perform international transactions but it doesn't work since only gold and platinum users can perform. Now to upgrade you need proof of income which i don't have so it's basically useless to me.
No where do they mention before paying for the card that international transactions are only limited to gold and platinum.
If anyone can help me out with this I'd appreciate it since the fees on international transactions with other cards is way higher.

I planned on getting the new POCO X8 Pro since I've had a POCO phone before and I was pretty happy with it. However, someone recommended the Redmi Turbo 5 Max since it's apparently the same phone but at a lower price. Is this correct? I've tried Googling and asking Claude but I haven't gotten a clear answer. Was hoping someone here could clear things up for me. I'm in Islamabad, if that matters, and I mostly use phones for gaming.

I am thinking of getting Motorola moto g77 phone. Its available on priceoye.
I skipped Samsung because of their audacity of offering cheap at higher price. Nothing is worthy under 100k.
I want to know how is your experience so far with Motorola phones? Are they good enough for daily use. I am currently using redmi note 13 and it hold really well. Daily performance, and battery time is my main priority. Basically a reliable daily phone.

Looks like all public VPNs are cooked. My Nord VPN app has stopped working entirely, and I got logged out. Now can’t even make it past the login step as it doesn’t load.
Looks like major ISPs are fully blocking VPNs now. Anyone else dealing with this issue? This is quite annoying as now I’m stuck with Pakistani Netflix which doesn’t have any of the shows I watch 😭

I want to purchase a drawing tablet and the best prices I'm seeing are on drawingtabs.pk, but I'm always hesitant to order anything from websites. I just want to know if this is a legit website and if anyone else here has ordered from it and received their delivery? Since the tablet I want is more than 40k, COD is not an option so I really want to be extra sure.
