    If this is the case, then we can throw out many things that actually are computers as well, including anything that isn’t strictly a desktop matching very specific parameters - systems like Fugaku (arm with a hybrid os) or Frontier don’t count because of their slingshot network etc etc.

    It just feels like a slippery slope to start discounting things like this.

      Fugaku is not a pc. Its a computer, but not a pc. Its a supercomputer :)

      Its a slippery slope, yes, but its one that separates a personal computer from any other device that just happens to compute something.
      I get the point though, what makes the arm ampere system a pc and the phone in your hand not? It both has a arm cpu and hardware connections after all :)
      Same arguments count towards the playstation or other consoles
