Mobilink May Launch a Youth Brand, Soon! is a post from: ProPakistani

Mobilink, Pakistan's largest cellular network, is reportedly all set to launch a new brand, especially designed for youth, revealed a report produced at Telecom Recorder. This upcoming Youth Brand is likely to surface in November 2010.

However, we are yet to ascertain the features and tariffs for the said brand.

Target Audience:

Target audience for this upcoming brand is said to be between 15 to 25 years of youngsters.

Offerings:

Keeping in view the Mobilink's recent (hourly) offers, it is assumed that Mobilink will try to come up with special treat for youth, who are usually hard to impress these days. It is sure that Mobilink will retain its focus on SMS and internet GPRS packages to grab the attention.

Scope:

Mobilink, for long, tried to cope with Youth with their primary brand Jazz, however, with time Jazz has turned out to be more of a generic or best dubbed as "Awami" brand. Specialized package for youth, Jazz Octane couldn’t leave the impact due to its daily rental, at the same time, pricing and publicity didn’t match the competition.

Maybe its little late, but Mobilink has rightly identified the need of a Youth Brand, because it is the youth that has revolutionized the scope of the mobile industry from being just an ordinary portable phone calling/receiving device to becoming a texting, web connected, instant messaging, and social networking phenomenon.

If we look at competition, Telenor, Zong, Ufone and Warid all have their recognized Youth brands, however, Mobilink had failed to get the recognition in this race.

Universal Laptop Charger [Preview] is a post from: ProPakistani

Couple of days back my laptop charger went unresponsive and I had to visit market for new charger.

I was told by this one shopkeeper that he can sell me a laptop charger for Rs. 700, which was made in China and it came with no warranty at all.

But with that I was offered another solution for my laptop that was "Universal Laptop Charger" with multiple pins for only PKR 750/- obviously china made ;) This gadget has an ability to charge almost all laptops, and it works like a charm with my laptop.

A universal laptop charger can be used with different types of laptops without buying specific laptop charger for a specific laptop. Universal laptop charger is usually available with 8 different pin connectors and in the range of 15v to 19.5 volts adjusted automatically (however, some universal chargers may not support automatic adjustment of output power).

Universal laptop chargers are designed for the people who have multiple laptops at a single place like a laptop repairing shop, Networking admin etc, but it can also benefit general users based on requirments.

How to Buy a Universal Laptop charger:

Things you must consider before buying a laptop charger are:

It must have 8 different pins to connect with different variety of laptops.

Very IMPORTANT Step: You must check the required voltage for your laptop. This can be verified through your laptop manual or otherwise it would be mentioned on your original charger as well. So make sure that you are inputting correct and exact amount of voltage to your laptop. A mistake here can damage your laptop severally. Try consulting an expert to know the required voltage for your laptop.
Some of universal laptop chargers are available with retractable cords; which can be disturbing in some cases as retractable cords disconnects a lot.
