I don't know that it needs to be Turing complete, but I'm inclined to say that it should have at least some control operations to qualify as a computer.
Example: Consider a hypothetical machine that implements standard SQL in hardware. Such a device would not be Turing-complete. Would you still call it a computer? I would.
