A PC is a "Personal Computer," though traditionally it only refers to IBM-compatible computers (or "a Windows machine" if in the context of Mac vs PC).

This "moving to mobile devices" debate seems to put "PC" in the context of "desktop and laptop computers" vs "tablets and smart phones" with ChromeBooks in a kind of middle-ground.
