> A computer, which has no consciousness

Right, as would all statements of lack of consciousness in anything. That way lies panpsychism. Which of course is a valid belief.
Even if you believe in panpsychism, there are good reasons to doubt a computer has anything beyond micro-experiences. You can't solve the binding-problem (for example, your left and right visual fields are unified as a coherent whole) with discrete parts.
