A computer from the 80's is still a sophisticated device.
Not compared to modern top end hardware, which is how the word is used in this context.
Ok, but you could also say a simple pc about a modern pc, that does not mean it's actually simple. It's because it is used in place of ordinary. And ordinary also doesn't mean simple in the literal sense. Even a "simple" mobile phone is in fact not simple.
