The Xiaomi laptop model that was on offer was the mid-variant of Mi Notebook 14 with Intel Core-i5, 8GB RAM, and 512GB SSD. This version normally costs ₹43,999. But a seller sold it for only ₹25,519 for a short period of time.

To avail this offer, buyers had to checkout the laptop with Mi Webcam (₹1,469), which is usually bundled with the notebook automatically on Mi Online Store and Amazon India.

Adding the Mi Webcam to the cart with Mi Notebook should drop the price of the webcam to ₹0. However, due to a glitch, instead of discounting the price of Webcam, it added a whopping ₹18,480 discount (42% off) to the laptop, bringing its price down to ₹25,519 from ₹43,999.

So customers who managed to order the product had to pay a total of ₹26,988, which includes the discounted price of the laptop (₹25,519) as well as the selling price of the webcam (₹1,469).

That said, not all the orders went through as some of the orders got canceled a few minutes after confirmation but many did not. Currently, both Mi Notebook 14 and Mi Webcam are out of stock on Flipkart with a “Coming Soon” notice.
