I'm pretty sure that was a price error and almost as sure that all or
most orders will be cancelled.

I tried to order at 4:00 in the morning.  Lenovo's site had gone
non-responsive by that time.  Session timeouts.

The hilarous escapade played out on

Lenovo Canada has had a lot of price errors on their web site over the
years.  More than any other site that I've cared about.  Example: I
had an order pending and unfulfilled for several years; it was at a
foolish price.

I had another order accepted and then cancelled a few months ago (they
allowed a large discount for removing Windows and then claimed it was
impossible to ship without Windows; negotiation got me nowhere).

My favourite error of theirs was that they sold me a clearance X60
tablet that they didn't have.  So they substituted an X61 which was a
new model.  Perhaps half list price (I don't remember exactly).
