  Who mentioned mainframes? We are talking about "Personal Computers".

  Never even raised the word mainframe in anyway.

  Oh indeed. But luckily phones also have storage, ram etc.

  Is your smart-phone a computer yes or no?

  Is your smart-phone personal yes or no?

  If yes to the above then it's merely a matter of time as the old style
  PC slips into server-mode (inc as a "home/media server").
