Mail-order Lynx

FROM mid-March, Camputer’s 48K Lynx will no longer be sold through high street shops.

Instead, the machine — to be renamed the Lynx Leisure — will be available only by mail-order direct from Camputers for £159.99 — a saving of £65 on its present price.

At £225 the machine had not been selling and the retreat to mail-order is a quick way to cut the price.

The Lynx 96K is fairing somewhat better at £299 and will continue to be sold in branches of Dixons, Laskeys and Spectrum Stores.

Camputers delayed 128K Lynx Laureate is now scheduled for March, priced at £399.95 for the Basic machine and £995 for a system with CP/M, twin disc drives and a suite of business software packages.
