I mean what else would win the award? Computers have merit to be considered one of the best inventions of mankind.
 
A bit of a lame copout answer
So my old 286 is the ultimate hardware of all time?
Or are they talking about my new ryzen with nvidia gfx?
 
Yes......

It's an interesting one. The PC (as in 'IBM PC compatible') has been an enduring collection of recognised minimum specifications for over four decades. Some would argue that modern PCs aren't compatible with the original specification and they would be right, but over the course it's been more iteratively compatible with earlier hardware and software with very occasional incompatibility breaks managed by software solutions to varying degrees - mostly thanks to Windows and Microsoft's effort to leave no code behind.

I can't think of any other platform with such an enduring identity.
