Sure. But it's not a Personal Computer (or compatible). The term PC does not refer to any computer intended for personal use, it refers to machines compatible

Sure. But it's not a Personal Computer (or compatible). The term PC does not refer to any computer intended for personal use, it refers to machines compatible with the IBM 5150 Personal Computer.

> Sure. But it's not a Personal Computer (or compatible). Sure it is. It made out of stock X86 hardware components. It uses stock PC expansion modules. It can boot and run both Windows and Linux. Exactly how is not a PC?

  It's not about wether it can run Windows or Linux. It's about wether it can run PC-DOS 1.0 and applications written for it.

    modern non-apple x86 uefi systems cannot run PC-DOS 1.0 or the applications written for it either.

      Don't Non-Apple UEFI systems usually include a BIOS-emulation mode ?

If a modern mac does not meet that definition, then no modern hardware labeled as a 'PC' does.
