Cat initially proposes buying a high-priced laptop ($2,500) but when her husband refuses, she suggests a lower-priced option ($700). This is an example of the door-in-the-face technique, where a person starts with a large request that is likely to be rejected in order to then make a smaller request that seems more reasonable in comparison.
