No... It would still be the same. Perhaps you could get a small
Karma discount if you enchant it as a focus :) .
You could also have a "Sandbenders" (from Idoru) machine. A
beautiful, hand-made casing built from mostly natural materials,
containing your usual off-the-shelf computer parts. The casing is much
easier to deal with, magically speaking, than a normal one, especially
if you dot it before installing the computer parts in it.
The casing can even be considered a "virgin telesma" if you
build it yourself...
