Nope, never heard a short generic term for computer.
I and some colleagues speak of laptops, desktops, and even palmtop (devices) rather generically to include personal computers that variously run MacOS, Windows, or one of the Unices. Box or host is almost always confined to speaking about a computer ('puter) running Unix.
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
