Corona Data System cut certain computer prices.

The Thousand Oaks-based company said it reduced retail prices on its personal computers up to 49%. The company’s top-selling model, a transportable computer with two disk drives, was cut in price to $1,495 from $2,795. Randy Rodman, a company spokesman, said Corona took the step because “the market is soft, and it’s a good way to increase business.” Corona, however, did not lower the price of its laser printers or multiuser computers.
