It just reeks of a company simply using a bait and switch tactic.

The banner clearly said up to 41% off on the DOORBUSTER sale, yet many of the price error systems were advertising over 100% savings; that didn't clue you in? Or the simple fact that IT SAID OVER 100% OFF SAVINGS.

They likely intended to put those specific items on sale but somehow some poor low level data entry person accidentally put a decimal point in the wrong place that skewed the discount on the promo code across the board.

And as for 'bait and switch'... You actually think Lenovo thought they would be successful in upselling consumers who are willing to pay for a system for $279, to a system for $1,299 instead? getthefuckouttahere...

I don't know if people are just playing dumb to get the deal, or are ACTUALLY that dumb.
