As ever one English word can have more than one connotation. "Vintage" is
no exception.
If we dispense with the wine allusion then a more general usage could be
"the best example of its type"
Adding some kind of chronological definer such as "in the 1960's" would
help.
Having defined our terms of reference we can then move on to make our
choice.
Clearly, even with agreed parameters, one person might offer more than one
example as a candidate.
A group of people will almost certainly produce a selection of answers.
So as to if a computer is vintage or not is an opinion.
A preponderance of one computer type or model might indicate some group
agreement.
