Guess what are your co-workers doing on Friday afternoon (May 23, 2014)? Most likely they are busying to order a IdeaPad Y410p for a amazing price of $279. This is unbelievable since it has i7 CPU, 8G Memory, 1T hard drive and JBL speaker. Just the i7 CPU alone worths more than $300.
The normal price is $1279. It is a price error since it applies the $500 promotion twice.
Here is the order confirmation
| Qty | Part no. | Description | Status | Price | Total |
| 1 | 59392489 | Lenovo Y410p Laptop - 59392489 - Dusk Bl -System details | Processing | $279.00 | $279.00 |
| Subtotal | $279.00 | ||||
| Environmental Handling Fee | $1.30 | ||||
| Tax (G.S.T./H.S.T.) | $36.44 | ||||
| Tax (P.S.T./Q.S.T.) | $0.00 | ||||
| Total | $316.74 | ||||
It take almost 24 hours for Lenovo to fix this problem. If you visits the same price again, the price back to $789:

But according to many customers, the order number in the email does not match their order numbers. What can you do right, Lenovo?
Be honestly, I do not expect I can get the 3 laptops I ordered, but at least I would expect some gift cards (like last time the famous $49 Bomber Jacket from Marks Warehouse, I got $10 gift card for the cancellation of the order).
