In 2017, my mom bought me my first laptop from a shop in a Computer Village. It wasn’t exactly a knight in shiny armor but I was grateful for it and used it to its full potential, and then some. That laptop sha gave me headaches. It caused me so much frustration and even brought me to tears sometimes.
So I made up my mind that my next laptop would be nothing but the best. — Of course, I couldn’t afford a MacBook Pro, so it would have to be the best I could afford. And it was.
Fortunately, my quest led me to a reliable source – Shopinverse. Since then, I’ve consistently found high-quality laptops and computers at incredibly affordable prices at Shopinverse, and I’ve never been disappointed.
Now I’m not saying you should not buy laptops from Computer Villages or that all laptops sold in Computer Villages are bad. That isn’t what I’m saying at all. I’m simply sharing my experience of consistently finding dependable laptops and computers back to back at crazy affordable prices.
Shopinverse has become my go-to place for tech needs. Many people have asked me where I purchase my computers, so I decided to write about it.
They have two physical stores in Nigeria. — One in Maryland Mall, Lagos, and another in Wuse, Abuja. Their addresses are listed below. Additionally, you can conveniently shop online through their website, and they offer free nationwide delivery on orders above 100k.
Why I Prefer Shopinverse
Shopinverse not only offers top-notch laptops, but I’ve also never encountered any disappointment with their products. Now give me a good and reliable product at an affordable price, good customers service, a warranty, and then top it up with a discount. Hehe. You’ve won my loyalty and I will recommend you to everyone I know.
I dey loyal. 🙌🏾
Discounts and Sales
As I’ve observed, Shopinverse hosts two major discount events each year:
- Mid-year sale: From mid-July to mid-August, they offer substantial discounts on all their gadgets. I’ve taken advantage of this twice and felt like a legend. 😏
- December sale: They also run discount sales in December, although I haven’t personally experienced this one. Keep an eye on their website in December if you’re interested.
- Additionally, whether during a sale or not, you can enjoy an extra 2% discount on all gadgets when you purchase through their website using my coupon code: VICTORYJOHNSON
Location
I’ve visited both Shopinverse stores during holidays in their respective locations. The Wuse, Abuja store was a bit challenging to locate and cost me extra on transport. On the other hand, the Maryland Lagos store, situated in Maryland Mall, is easily accessible but can get crowded due to its popularity for quality, affordable laptops. Consequently, I now prefer to shop through their website. Their delivery to Kaduna state — where I live — is swift. It takes 7 days on average and is usually free. Plus I always take advantage of the 2% off offer when buying on their site.
Abuja address: Zone 3, Abuja Shopping Mall, Wuse 904101, Abuja, Federal Capital Territory
Lagos Address: Shop Inverse International Limited, Maryland Mall, No. 350-360 Ikorodu Road, 100211 Maryland LA, Nigeria
Beware of Fraud
Every successful business attracts scammers looking for unsuspecting victims, so be careful when making a purchase online. Take note of the following:
- When engaging on their social media, watch out for scammers who may reply to your comments or come into your DM when you make a comment on their page. In any DM conversation, ensure you initiate contact first, and the same applies to phone calls. This applies to buying online form any business, not just Shopinvesre.
- If you’re buying online, make sure it’s directly from their official website, —this link — and not through social media. Never transfer money to any account without verification.
- For in-store purchases, confirm you’re at the correct location using the provided addresses, and ensure you’re assisted by a staff member. Always verify before making any payment.
Product Highlights
Another common I receive is “Which laptop should I buy?”
Quick Answer: That decision ultimately depends on your needs, so I can only provide recommendations.
Here are some of the computers I’ve purchased from Shopinverse and also some I have reviewed and consider among the best they currently in my opinion. I may update this in the future when next I purchase a new laptop or computer.
However, the right choice depends on your specific requirements, so I suggest researching the best laptops within your budget for your intended use case before making a decision.
