Yes it certainly must cheaper in Pakistan, like in US or in Europe despite currencies at the top.
But this is nothing special for a second hand one. I made a search for i7 notebook and a new one cost here : R$2000 around USD500/600 from famous internationnal brands. I doubt people would buy some stuff from Pakistan, only if you know people here.

You will be ok bringing in electronics, cellular phones and computers that are for your own personal use, but anything that is intended for resale is going to be subjected to a 60% import tax on its value (or estimated value placed on it by the Receita Federal). They'll probably allow one or two of most of the above items, but over that they're going to be extremely difficult to convince that it is not your intention to sell those items.
