This being a matter of definition, there really isn't a "right" answer. The question becomes: "how does one choose to define the category 'PC'?"
That said, though there may be some unclear cases, a USEFUL definition of 'X' (whatever X might be) will track our concepts, such that those things that clearly aren't X's don't fall under the definition, while those that clearly are X's do.
One problem with the above article is that it seems to wish to embrace a broad definition of 'PC'. There is nothing fundamentally wrong with doing such a thing, but in this particular case such would seem to broaden the definition to include all manner of devices (such as mobile phones) that clearly are NOT 'PC's (at the very least they are a different market), despite their being both 'personal' and 'computers'.
