Punjab Laptops Get Wrecked by Twisted Media

Punjab’s laptop scheme has become controversial, so is the case with Mr. Shahbaz Sharif. It is yet to ascertain if this whole campaign against Mr. Sharif is outcome of Prime Minister’s conviction, as political silos are hot like hell, or  allegations against laptop scheme are for real. We will try to evaluate few of them below.

From what it appears, all political parties are currently doing their best to outperform others in blames, accusations, allegations and what not. Media has apparently decided not to remain behind too.

This whole scenario has engulfed the laptop scandal with fierce beating that it got from media with some sensitive and reasonable questions. But at the same time media men are throwing serious rubbish, something that they are notorious for.

Let’s take an example of Mubashir Luqman. Before we get to our discussion, please watch this video clip from his show on Dunya TV on May 1st, 2012:

I won’t discuss the pricing of laptops or the decision of Punjab government to give away laptops instead of building schools – this is something that can be argued and should be argued for better and transparent governance.

But I will rather focus on other matters such as Mr. Luqman has claimed that the Laptops were not manufactured by Dell company, instead they were manufactured in China. Probably he is of the view that these laptops are china-made fake copies of dell. Sir; you need to pay a visit to computer market and look at the back side of laptops to straighten your facts. It will help.

Then he goes on to compare Youth initiative laptops with another model of dell without mentioning the model of laptop. Following is the screenshot of the comparison:

dell

Mr. Luqman further alleges that operating system in Punjab Laptops is not original but a pirated copy of Microsoft Windows. He also regrets that Punjab government could be in real trouble if Microsoft gets notice of this incident. Maybe Mr. Luqman was misinformed on this as Punjab Youth Laptops come with Ubuntu OS – which is an open source free operating system.

Mubashir Luqman astonished everyone by claiming that Punjab Laptops (which are actually Dell Inspiron N4050 with variations in processor and RAM) is a 15 years old technology. Well I am not kidding here, you can watch above video yourself to see what exactly he said.

Maybe Mr. Luqman hadn’t the opportunity to buy or operate a computer 15 years ago (somewhere around 1997) when we had to pay the price of a laptop for just 16 MB Ram.

Mr. Mubashir Luqman also terms Punjab Youth Laptop 400 times slower than the original Dell laptop without mentioning his gauges.

Again, this whole scheme could be a waste of money. Maybe 4 billion rupees could have been used for better education, or maybe for another education department for lot better means. But it is really shocking, disgraceful and shameful to twist facts, rather telling direct lies, just to support an argument.

Even worse, this TV show was translated and distributed by a newswire (Online News Network) to whole media. They went even further by claiming that actual price of laptop was Rs. 19,500 which was bought by Punjab Government for Rs. 37,700.

Have a look at following clipping taken from today’s Jang Newspaper:

Tech and telecom reporter for over 15 years


  • I dont know what exactly is the motive behind giving laptops, but like Dr. Abdul Qadeer said ” setting up free computer labs for underprivileged would have been a better idea”. And yes, Moby Luqman did a blunder with that 15 year figure. According to my information, first Dual Core 2.0 was released somewhere in 2006. Not exactly sure what variant are the Punjab laptops using.

    • What about that pirated windows stunt? Not to mention he wanted to label these laptops china-made copy of original dell.

        • Lucman tu sirf MQM ki hi tareef karta hai aur meri admin aap se request hai plzz laptop sirf punjab main milay hain ,baki pakistanio ko is topic main koi dilchaspi nahi bar bar is topic pe post nahi karo warna polical blog ban jai ga ye.

      • first time a really good… after watching this program im sure mubashir luqman dont even use laptops in his life…

      • Yup that too.. Even the XPS series is made in China… Don’t really know what drugs was moby on.

      • Hello,

        1. He got this laptop for Rs 20,000 because someone sold it very cheap for money. i3 is the very same as this dual core in benchmarks. Actually i3 & i5 (some models) both are dual cores with just a little better like 10% performance.

        2. Regarding Chinese copy, it’s not true. It’s Original Dell brand. If it is a Chinese copy, it’s product & serial number will never match at dell.com. Every brand has their production house in China. If you will buy laptop in USA, you will find “Made In China” on it too. I have personal experience.

        3. If Microsoft sues Punjab Govt. Punjab govt will easily win. Because Punjab Govt. is giving laptop with Ubuntu. If a user changes it to Microsoft Windows, then it’s not Punjab Govt. fault. It’s buyer who is violating copyright. Microsoft is not that blind that they couldn’t notice of such a big project. They are very well aware, but they cannot sue Punjab govt on it. Because govt will win & in counter case, Microsoft will have to pay too much for penalty.

    • FYI! Those laptops are not just having Dual Core processors but SANDY BRIDGE B950 Two Processors. Their is a big difference between performance of both of them. Sandy bridge processors were first introduced in 2011 thus is a latest tech from intel after IVY BRIDGE.

      Believe me or not but my Youth Laptop’s rating on Windows 8 is surprisingly high:
      Processor 5.9
      RAM 5.5
      Graphics 4.4
      Gaming Graphics 5.5
      Primary Hard disk 5.9
      (Thus Overall 4.3, one less than my friend’s Lenovo i5)
      That is a great rating level in this price range. Not to forget HD Graphics quality and build quality is superb.

      So my message for LUQMAN BABA BANGALI “Enjoy mast mahool tay khao mithay chool” :P

      • Sorry for a typo in my previous post:
        Graphics rating is 4.3 not 4.4…..!

        • ye sirf MQM ko nahi __________ ko bhi support karta hai .is k kirdar pe mujey shuru se shak hai.
          PTI aur PLM N k khelaf hi bolta hai jab k ye 2 parteis doosri parteis se bhot achi hain aur america k agay har baat pe yes sir yes sir nahi karti.

          [Comment Edited]

  • What can i say?? I am speechless… If this is our Media than i have to say we dont need any enamies to fight with.. Our own ppl are sufficent for our self destruction.. These are orignol and quality laptops.. I myself installed Win 7 on 3 of these laptops..

  • I am a pti supporter (it is supposed that I have to disagree with Pmln) but fact is Mr Lucman in past too did very bias programmes against Pmln and Shareif brothers(He also remain minster in Musheraf care taker govt).

    If there is a minor corruption in this scheme,still I think we need to appreciate this overall scheme. It is good step by punjab govt.Media trying to make this our habit that we go for negative side of any news/events.

    Only issue with this scheme is, the money wasted in laptop ceremonies (like same color of t-shirts type things) and giving Half page News paper ad is bad…

    Otherwise, Well done Punjab govt.

  • I am not supporting the fact the laptops should have been distributed, but here definitely the reality is being twisted. The anchor has forgotten the fact that instead of low literacy rates in Pakistan, many people still understand the difference between the processing speeds of both laptops. Shameful act again by Mubashir Luqman.

  • Although M.Lucman does quite good programs, but this program was definitely very fishy and he really messed up when said that technology is 15 years old and the original price is 19K or something.

    This program shows us how Media sells out for some bucks.

  • Sahi keh raha hai, they purchased much expensive. I think he has no sound knowledge of terminology, thats why some confussion is there. Aamir sb you knw very well about Computers. CM distributed laptops are dual core processors & now it is time of i3.
    Although both have two cores in each but dual core is old technology and max price of this unit is max 25K. and i3 costs approx 35-40.
    So…………….Aaho…….Khadim-e-Aala ………Bohat Aala Bohat Aala ……. hahaha
    At last i would like to say that i am not Pro-PTI. I support Musharraf :-)Visionary Leader.

    • Agree with you Muhammad Ch sb. Dell Inspiron N4050 with variation of Processor and RAM… it must be less than 30k and this point also has been ignored that when you get such products in bulk you also gets discounts in products and i m sure Punjab govt got them in factory price or maybe just little profit.

      More important is that there is no need of distributing laptops among students… its nothing but just a pre-election campaign like PML-N govt other decisions(Danish Schools, Roads renovations in Lahore city, Yellow Cab Scheme Once Again, Price distribution among position holders in exams(Musharaff did great to introduce a system rather than playing pre-election games))

      • agreed. i wonder that still people vote pml.n and ppp. pml-n is actually IG of liar.

    • chaudry sab i think app log ki akal bht bht kum hai jo prices apnay quote ki hain na is par 16 percent bhi lagta hai ok market main log tax pay ni kartay thats y prices are low pata ni hamari kaum kab sudry gi bus boltay jao haqiqat na pata lagana.

      • Dear Abdullah + 15% b kar lo to b bohat difference hai……… aur aik cheez aur hai k bulk purchase main actual price b to kum ho jati hai na. i have solid know how bcoz i purchased dual core three years back , and in january i purchased i3 of dell. 2gb ram, 500 hard , 14 inch. @ 37000.

        • check the rebuttal on youtube and u will get satisfactory justification on the price and the other things that come with it

  • Mubashar luqman has a failed career in almost every organization he went to. Starting from Paktel where he was fired in 1994, than NTM, than world call. He was once almost arrested in UAE because of his brilliant idea of starting an Arabic playboy equivalent.

    But guess finally where is he a success??? our great media!!!

  • Well,
    I am already against this media; there is no rules how to convey information to other. And one more thing all these anchors who claim them to be patriot are enemies of the country and nation. Because they misguide nation for their personal interest.

    Well, Mr Luqman, If he has done a lot of bad for Punjab. Please standup and quote a petition in SC. Or be shameful on what you have conveyed to nation. Please stand up and give even a single laptop or computer to any needy person. Then it will show how patriot you are.

  • WTF :/

    Respect Level for Mubashir Luqman: 0/10
    Respect Level for Hamid Mir: 2/10

  • WTF?? 15 year old technology?? Has he gone mad?? Oh bhai 15 saal pehle konsa Dual Core CPU aaya tha market mai?? :-/ (0_o) (-_-)

  • well neither do i got a laptop nor do i support any of the political parties but i am super annoyed with how media twisted the price and everything come on if you can’t do anything nice just appreciate if someone else did it..

    What a joke 19500 RS per laptop lolzz today a similar laptop is available in 35K from Lahore you may visit yourself
    http://galaxy.pk/form092.html

    Shame on you Mr Mubashir Luqman know the facts before you spoil the minds of all your viewers.

  • Well what can we say about Mr mubassir he is a big choroooo lolz kuch pata hota nahi hai inhay aur batain carooro ki

  • Funny how everyone has all of a sudden turned a blind eye to real issue which was massive irregularities on part of Punjab Government, well maybe the laptop is not available for 19k, but when you are purchasing a 110,000 laptops than the price should have been a lot less than the market price, it’s common sense that when you buy in bulk the price is decreased.

    Moreover distribution of laptops to “self financed” students who pay half a million (minimum) every year ( which means that they are very well off (for those who don’t know)), similarly giving laptops to those who have a poor academic record as said by their own institutions just because they are MSF members?

    And the award of contract to Hamza Shehbaz’s friend?

    And spending millions on laptop distribution ceremonies?

    And here we are discussing if Luqman used the correct tech terms or not.

    Shameful on part of everyone who seems to be “okay” with this massive scandal at hand. It’s public money and there should be an inquiry into it, preferably a judicial inquiry. People don’t pay taxes for this.

  • yaar hamara log negative soch rakhta hain mera nae khial k ram 2 gb aur 4gb ho to koi khaas farak paara ga

    kuon k 2 gb be enough ha
    aur dual core and i3 ke speed ma kita farak ha?
    takreeban na hona k braabar

    hmain postive think rakhni chahea k is tara zaheen students ki hosla afzae ho ge
    na ka itne chote chote baatan nikalne chahean

    jaisa b ha pmln na kuch to kia ha it labs and this scheme and danish schools etc

    ppp na kaunsa tarakiti kaam kia ha?

    • Jahanzaib sb….

      yahan baat speed ki ni price ki ho rahi hai… there is hell of difference between dual core and i3 laptops prices similarly there is difference between RAM prices as well….

      2nd its not about zaheen students ki hosla afzayi. this should be all about education system. education system mein only zaheen student ni hotay. Its about all students with equal facilities.

      Instead of introducing a system which can really help pakistan education system he is wasting billions rupees on pre-election campaign like he did with Danis School instead of providing facilities and education system to all schools.

      and there is no point of comparing PPP with PML-N. Actual point is both are vision less and have no sense of policies which can actually help pakistan.

      I dont understand a single point of shahbaz sharif policies, but to name them pre-election campaigns.

      hope u understand

  • I WAS A BIG FAN OF LUQMAN BUT TODAY AFTER READING THIS ARTICLE I JUST HATE HIM,MEDIA SHOULD NOT BE BIASED AND M SHOCKED HE IS SAYIN 15 YEAR OLD TECHNOLOGY MAN AT THAT TIME WE EVEN COULNDT HAVE THOUGHT THAT THERE WOULD B 2GB RAMS IN PCS…WELL I SAY THE ARTICLE DESERVES APPRECIATION GUD WORK TEAM PROPAKISTANI

    • i wonder on what grounds you were his fan!? But you knw, everyone has a right to appraise anyone. Still there r many who are with zardari… Wel, better now then never. Tc :)

  • Distributing the laptops, courage’s the students to get least 60% or whatever percentage to get a laptop, I was a middle level student who don’t want to top the board, university. So as i cannot come in top 10, so i was not awarded any gift by institution.

    A very positive thing, to distribute among the students to courage them.

    Distribution ceremony, it is also necessary to courage the students and to motivate them. University convocation is also the match, board prize distribution ceremonies.

    I saw the elders, “Jay! sadday door wich koi laptop dinda, koi murree di sair kranda, fir essi wi prrh laindy”

  • wow what a stupid nigger , pirated windows?? seriously?and these processors are 2011 released series…

    i think these laptops are “perfect” in specs for a student..

    a student doesn’t need more , nor less..

    • He sure is. And now he has been exposed as a paid corrupt journalist for Thekedar Malik riaz too

  • admin you website is not opening on my laptop. Giving this error ”Unable to load the webpage because the server sent no data” and also facebook is not opening. Im accessing your website now on Opera Mini as it avoids website block ad which is setted by Govt. Is your website and facebook both are also blocked (by mistake ?) ? Please check it and confirm.

  • Dear today i want to inform you one more information regarding private companies, I work in Huawei Technologies Pakistan, and Huawei hire outsource staff through Peoples (outsource company), and Peoples provide laptops to worker for work… Now a days Peoples providing HP 4530s Laptops thats price are i think 40-45K, but Peoples takes 70-75K from Huawei against single Laptop..

    Why Such type of anchors are blaming Punjab government, I think our most of students gets benefits from these laptops and they try to improve our country’s situation.

  • ppl made some noise about 2 big potential lawsuits microsofts and dells for pmln b/c of their pirated stuff.. and then they wrote what u posted (which i deleted) for the following reason… They did use pirated stuff.. soon after paindu league understood it’s wrong, (either microsoft contacted them..but some deal seemed to have been made b/c they have to give ppl microsoft courses now) .. and yes a lot of ppl were given out the other operating system.. a quick change after they understood the blunder made. Nevertheless microsoft laptops were given out. They distributed a huge amount.. and nothing was made in buge bulks..so the next production wasnt mcsoft. Pmln’s new lie is to deny.. always thinking ppl r stupid :) …but M.Lucman’s exposing segment was thorough and correct

  • Mr. Luqman, please grow up. You just have an allegation like we used to have in our primary school … “Teacher us ne meri pencil le li hai” .. “Teacher us ne mera lunch khaa liya” …!! Please grow up .. and you cant fool the people :)

  • Agar PTI nay laptop diyay hotay to PTI supporters nay “wah hamara Imran Khan zindabad” aur PMLN supporters nay “laptop corruption ho gai” kehna tha.

    yeh to nature hay siyasi logon ki. aur media per yakin karna to aj kal dur he lagta hay.

    siyasat main opar say chutki baja di jati hay aur supporters mast ho ker nachna shuru ker detay hain.

  • this man is rite courption PMLN SUCKS EAT money

    shahbeez chor hia ________
    main be kahao driver dell ki officall website per q nahi hian thats y this silly laptop made of china

    • Array bhai! Aaj kal genuine Iphone, Nokia etc sab China mein tyaar hota hai, due to low production cost. Iss ka mutlab hai kay Iphone aur Nokia kharaab quality kay hain???? Chaa gay aap too :P

  • Mubashir Luqman,s theories, logics are biased. He doesn’t know what OS stands for or what is open source OS?
    Big responsibilities with these so called Anchor persons, You cant add your personal views to facts.

    Luk-man you are an idot!!

    Good work Aamir

  • Check the price of dual core processor Dell Laptop on http://www.myshop.com.pk/laptop-pakistan/dell-inspiron-5040-pakistan.html The price on the website is 44,900 which i way higher than 37,700. I want to clarify something here there is a difference if you want to buy laptop for individuals or companies/offices. Jaffer brothers is authorized provider of HP in Pakistan, you can check the difference between the laptop prices from Hafeez Center and Jaffer brothers, Jaffer brothers is on the higher side. The reason for it is mostly the computers in Hafeez center are brough into Pakistan through black channels and tax isnt paid on it. Most of the times they provide you international warranty which is cheaper than when you buy from authorized provider. When an individual buy a laptop, sale is not registered and the shopkeepers dont have to pay the taxes on it. Whereas if a company/govt procures laptop the sale get registered and provider has to pay the tax. So there is no comparison in price between a Laptop bought from Hafeez center and an authorized provider

  • Forget about Mubayshar everyone. pmln have so many journalists and tv anchors working for us. There are so many people Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif put in media from our family that other people cant compete. We will buy our election if we have to. We have the POWER!

    • Why are so proud on this shameful situation? This is exactly why we Pakistanis don’t deserve good leaders. When given a chance and need, we indulge in corruption.

  • What do you expect from Tv Channel of Mia Amir? He is just defaming PMLn. I am with Imran khan BTW.

  • LaughingOutLoud on Mubashar Lucman. Its the biggest prove that he is such a LIAR in media. Even don’t know 1% about laptops and its technologies and how beautifully he is pleasing his BOSS, IK. What a LOSER. :-D

  • This Mr. Mobashir Luqman don’t completely worked on this. He is just saying bulshits:
    1. First of all, core 2 technology is not a 15 year old technology, this is a good aspects laptop. This can be around only 3 year old technology. But still considering in the industry as a good aspect laptop.
    2. Mr. Mubashir also don’t know that DELL is manufacturing laptops in China now. I have recently purchased my Dell Laptop from local market that was also of China made
    3. Dell Laptops also come with 14″ as well as 15″, so its again a bulshit that Dell manufacture only 15″ laptops
    4. The Windows might be installed by someone in Hafeez center. The laptops originally issuing to the students by Punjab govt. are with Linux version that don’t require any license.

    Mr. Mubassir Luqman has a good history of spreading wrong information. He just know that how to increase the rating of his program but don’t know that how to actually investigate the things and comes with reality.

    I think there should be some audit of these black sheeps of Media

  • LOL, Mubashar Luqman, Please resign from your post. Its request from all pakistanis.
    WTF… WTH… How you do research ??? Even a matric pass person can tell this is not 15 years old technology … and its not worth 19000 Rs.

    Please all media anchors get mature.

  • Its just a point scoring game By Mubashir Luqman…
    Maybe vendors involved in that deal can earn handsome amount to sell laptops to Panjab Govt but i don’t think Shahbaz Sharif did corruption in that deal

  • sirf position holders ko labtop dainay chahye thay……..jinhain iski importance ka psata hota

      • me 2, I think ke jesy scholarships ke liye panel bethtey hain universities main. Student ke deserving hony ko check kerty hain (regardless how effective they are) wesy he laptop ke liye kerna chahye tha. PU main morning shift ke sab students ko diye gaye hain laptops without any merits and method. jab k evening main jo atay hain wo be merit pe he admission lety hain lakin zera kam merti hota hai. fee be double hoti hai, un main be deserving hoty hon be but kisi ko be nahi mila. isi liye last days jo protests ho rahy thy isi waja sy thy ke morning shift ke students ko line lagwa ke bant diye..

  • we all should united togather just like we did in case of Maya Khan.. may be its looking childish or crazy.. but come on guy this guy is spreading hate among youth by spreading lie!

    i have seen lot of posts on facebook where supporters of PTI and PML (N) are fighting just because of this guy!!!

  • Not Doubt every one Knows that , PLM-N did Corruption on large Scale how its Possible Prize of Laptop is 37,700 RS. I think Govt Can Purchase i3 Direct form Dell Company with Lower Price. This Project is totally for Geting Vote Against Imran khan and Motivate to Youth by giving Laptops on Large Number. I whole Life i litsen that Govt give Prizes top 3 Position but how you can give 110,000 Laptops to student , if this Project Was so Important for Good Progress in Education of Punjab then Why Punjab Govt was Sleeping From last 3 years? Misuse of Tax Payers money. . I think Danish School and Sasti Roti was alo Flopped Project. So, i want o know what’s your Faith says,.? My faith says Give Vote to those who are not in Government, Because its thier Rights. All Parties are in Government and they are Failed to Run Government.

    • Tum line mein aagay lag kar sasti roti kharid kar mehngay daamon bechtay thay aur ab criticize kar rahe ho. Bhai last 3 saal se nahi kiya to ab kar diya na. Ab agar govt. 4 saal guzarnay ke baad Aafia Siddiqui ko america se Pakistan le aati hai to kya tum ye kaho ge ke pehle 3 saal mein ye kaam kyun nahi kiya? Election win karny ke liye Aafia ko wapis le aye. Apne dil baray karo, aur tanqeed utni karo jitni baad mein tum awam se jootiyan khaa sako. Tum loag kya taleem hasil karty ho?? Kisi ko acha bolna tum logon ko bohut bura lagta hai. Tumhari apni % kam hogi iss liye dil bardashta ho.

  • Ok, DELL is a US Brand, and LENOVO etc are being manufactured in China. You buy DELL, you get a laptop which is not manufactured in china. It is a fact. you have to get the sense what he’s talking about, i don’t buy price or 15 year old theory word by word, but what he meant to say is pretty clear and you should also accept it, if given specs are true, you can buy original window laptop in same price then why Ubuntu, i can download Ubuntu online.

    • Your are right. Just look back of any laptop, you will find made of china. It means assemble in China. because Dell as factories in China to cover this region.

  • its fake mubashir sb to wasay he dushmani nakel raha ha or pakistani wasa be kasi hal main khush nahi ha

  • sana bucha: Hain??? Uh-oh – another case for Dunya”@MaryamNSharif: Punjab govt suing M Luqman and Shaukat Basra on false accusations re laptop scheme.”

  • Why am I getting the impression that you are trying to defend Shahbaz shareef. Pakistani tv media is crape you should not focus on it.

  • wt de foolish talk of lukman……he dndt know tisy itna b nai pta k iss laptop me pirated windows nai hai blke iis me UBUNTU Operating system install hai jo k open source hai…phr punjab government kis tarah phas skti hai.phle lukam IT ka knowlge hasil kre,phr koi baat kre IT related.foolish guy…..

  • Ye looser sirf baatain hawa mein phenkta hai facts ka pata nahi hota. Jo altaf Hussain ko altaf bhai kehta ho uski kya credebility hai?? PML(N) ne isski bhens chori kit thi jo unka peecha nahi chhorta. Pakistan mein zaleel kisam ki shakhsiyat ko Mubashir Luqman kehte hain. Keep it up Punjab Govt, don’t listen the programms of these bullshit anchors. They can’t appreciate the good step taken by you, but loves to degrade the positive works the Punjab Govt. Laanti shakhs. Itna sasta laptop hota to har ghar mein ghisay pittay dell ke branded system na hotay.

  • I regarded Mubashir Lucman as one of the most credible host. But after watching such a ‘PAID + NOOB’ program in which he just made false statements posing the Laptops given by Punjab Govt. as semi-standard products; I must say…..PAID JOURNALISM RISING !

  • I personally think, Mubashir Luqman is not trustworthy person. He has not sufficient knowledge about any thing and he is looking agent of some one. His agenda is just to black mail Punjab government. For some time I liked his program but now I know what he has to say. One thing important, he event dont know Laptop technology and said they are mad from China. I have laptop cost RS. 120000, made of china, it does mean its china but assemble in China. Similarly he said old technology, but he dont know what mean by old technology and because laptop can not me manufacture with out specific specks and every thing appeared in laptop. One thing more, he made one program on danish School. He said seepage/poor quality material and like that. I request him to get some degree from University and then comment. He dont know that this area sand is like this and its big problems in this region. Even seepage is in my own house.
    I belong to Chishtian and this school is very good and peoples have dream to send their kids in this school.

  • Oh God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LUQMAN BABA has filed an application in Lahore High Court based on his false information. He has gone kaboom on punjab govt — lol — :P

  • i wana purchase i3 laptop of dell brand of rs worth 37000. MR lucman will u plz help me in getting that????

    shebaz zinda bd luqman zardari ______ bad

  • P4 introduced by Intel on November 20, 2000 and Core 2 introduced by mubashir Luqman G-father on 1997…..!!!! ya technology 15 sal purani hay ??????

  • I strongly disagree to Mr Mubashir Luqman. I think we should say thanks to Sir shahbaz sharif instead of criticize them.

  • the writer of this blog and on different electronic media all had received kick backs from Dell inorder to clear its repute..
    The true story of what went behind this purchase should be unfolded and muby luqman should be asked to conduct another show to unveil the facts…

    The whole system is corrupt, every player of this laptop scandal has earned a lot of money.. what was the reason there was only 1 brand chosen? what is the reason that key position holders of this laptop project who were working in the government have left the government after minting their money.. and those who invested for the poultry farm shareholders project are firing their employees and shutting down their offices!

    However.. I do agree that there were a few very stupid things that muby luqman mentioned.. which you guys have already discussed

  • Well, I just want to add few lines of mine. First of all, Shehbaz shariff is doing this just to increase the vote bank of PML (N). Secondly, laptops are original good quality, and Mubasshar Luqman is just a ”shurpasand” Qaddiyani who sits on TV and start demoralizing people.

  • Strongly Disagree wid that Anti pml(N) and pro MQM person.
    Es salay ka baitay ko nai mila ho ga laptop.

  • Mubashar Luqman

    Spitting on moon falls on face. Hope its the most suitable example for what you are doing.
    Allah hidayat day ap ko achhai kar na sako to us ko bardasht to kar lo zalimo.

  • My friend got a laptop “Rawalpindi Arid university”. His laptop has pirated windows…

    And also this laptop deos not seem to be new.. It looks like a bit used… I think Luqman is not totally wrong.. 70 % i dnt agree with him..

    By the way great joke “15 saal puarni technology “

  • Classic. They tell outrageous lies to make the REAL lies look small. This is your news.

  • mubashir luqman k pass to lagta ha matric k bhee fake degree ho ge…. lolzzzzzz
