Question:
Jessica received a marketing brochure via email from Lanobo Computersadvertising a top-grade 14-inch i7 laptop computer (Model 1314) for $1,000.
Realising that this was an exceptionally value-for-money deal, but not surprised because she knew that Lanobo Computers was facing intense competition (both
locally and overseas) in the laptop market, she rang and placed an purchase order for Model 1314. When Jessica arrived at the sale outlet of Lanobo Computers in
Tung Chung, she was told that there had been a mistake on the marketing brochure and it should have said $10,000. The manager of the outlet explained
that this was still a good price because normally a 14-inch i7 laptop computer would have cost $15,000. Jessica was outraged, as it had taken her 30 minutes to get to
the sale outlet by taxi and if she had known it would cost $10,000, she would never have made that order. Advise Jessica.
