Given the computers listed, I don't think the PC fits. During the 80s the PC was out of range for most consumers and was used mostly in business. CNET is a consumer oriented site and the 5 listed were the computers that found their way into homes.
Commodore has 2 of the 5! Surprised no one else caught that...long live the 64!
Bob (who also lived through it)
First PCs were crappy also... almost every 8 bit machine had better sound and graphics.
Nice list, but I would change the TRS80 and put the Speccy instead. You can't deny it's importance
