As with others, I've always considered Macs to be Personal Computers. But the "Hi, I'm a PC" ads certainly suggest that Apple marketing is playing along with the more limited meaning of "PC".
But before I really think about your question, I've got other more meaningful things to worry about. For example, I'm still trying to work out how many angels can dance on the head of a pin. And what happens if we consider pins that aren't limited to just four decimal digits. If the old line that God created the natural numbers and the rest are the invention of Man, then pins seem to be the right sort of thing for angels to dance on.
