Have someone do sth
To have somebody do something most commonly means to cause somebody to do something (eg, ask, force, pay). But can I use it like this way about my broken laptop? I had someone repair it for me. meaning, I paid someone to repair it for me?

Yes, that's fine. In itself, "had someone repair it" does not necessarily mean that you paid. If this information is important then you would need to say it explicitly.
