If they would use the correct name it would help because people here think “computer” is some laptop.

Call it a flight director which is built into the aircraft and every commercial has one and so so high end private aircraft and is the correct name for the equipment.

Actually, that is not correct. There are several correct terms. FMS (Flight Management System), compter, etc. Flight Director would NOT be correct. That is merely a display system. If pilots are talking in a casual way, they might call it “the box” or “the computer.”
