Vitt, an Apple iBook G4 laptop purchaser, sued Apple, claiming that advertising words including “mobile,” “durable,” “rugged,” “reliable” and “high value” allegedly constituted a misrepresentation of the durability, portability, and quality of the laptop. Vitt’s laptop failed soon after the expiration of its one- year warranty. Vitt argued that it should be expected to last for “at least a couple of years.” In Vitt’s view, Apple’s ads caused buyers to believe the computer was of better quality than it turned out to be. Was Vitt a victim of a misrepresentation? Explain.
