Why is it masculine?

Italian "computer" is masculine (il computer) because it's a borrowed English word that follows the default masculine gender typically assigned to foreign nouns in Italian, particularly those ending in consonants. Unlike Romance-derived Italian nouns where gender is often tied to Latin roots, English loanwords like "computer" don't have an etymological gender anchor in Italian's Romance system, so they default to masculine.
