It has more computing power than 486 PC.
And we certainly did call those things computers.
Our company financial system used to run on a beefy 486 PC based server with SCO Unix and Informix database. And it supported 10 simultaneous users accessing it from terminals (286 class PCs with terminal emulator software)

The thing is, you are not allowed to use its computing power.
