[My flu doesnt seem to quit...i thought i'd blog an entry atleast right away before everyone accuses me of being a slacker 
]
In a welcome change, as opposed to the “we sell everything under the sun” concept of many local online shops…(giftstoeast, beliscity,etc) I recently ran across a new, Lahore based online shop called “ishop” (www.ishop.com.pk) that sells only laptops…
I like vertical, speciality shops, just because I know that the entity Im buying from actually knows something about the product they are selling, and from iShop’s website, this definetly seems to be the case. A very well designed UI enables me to quickly zoom in on a few options and then pick my final laptop. They also have this nifty “edge enabled” category that lets me pick out a laptop that I can use with a high speed gprs-edge service like Telenor’s. They also have very useful guides explaining the ins and outs of laptops. Plus they have alienware laptops!!! (wow!)
If i had to pick between the well known beliscity, and the new iShop, I would go for iShop hands down.

Alienware – 1 model – delivery time- 3 to 5 weeks
Acer – 1 model – ZERO in stock
Apple – ZERO in stock
I had to stop at A
the idea is neat. But our dear PM promised clean water in every village by 2007.
A very nice and helpful website, i’ll surely buy a laptop from them whenever i plan for one
Its so sad that I received an email from ishop today that they are closed. I wonder what the reasons were.
UPDATE: ishop.com.pk is now myshop.com.pk
http://www,myshop.com.pk
Best prices in town. REALLY!!!
want 2 purchase a p-4 laptop ,
since ishop seems to be closed…go to beliscity or just to a brick an dmortar local shop….
i’ve met ishop people and had a chance of meeting the myshop people recently, they’re the same. i wonder why they changed the name from ishop to myshop, though myshop website is even more professional and easy to surf. Will definitely buy a laptop from them. but dont have the money yet
