Why is it masculine?

Ordenador is masculine because it derives from the Latin "ordinatorem" (nominative: "ordinator"), which carried masculine gender from the Latin "-or" suffix used for agent nouns referring to people performing actions. In Spanish, words ending in "-or" are typically masculine. The word originally meant "one who orders or arranges," and this masculine gender was preserved in Spanish, though the word's modern meaning has been extended to refer to computing machines.
