The computer was $2000, it's now $1500.
It has been reduced - 25% off.
25 = 100*(2000-1500)/2000 = 100 * (500/2000) = 100 * 0.25

CJ and Frank are right on. "'On sale" or "discounted" are great if you don't want to say how much the price has been reduced. "25 percent off" is a very common way of describing how much the price has been reduced.
Additionally, you could also say it's "$500 off," has a "$500 discount," or a "25% discount."

We would say it's "on sale." On sale means that price has been lowered/reduced. Like Frank says it's "25% off."
