Spanish term or phrase: un cpu clónico
This is in a list if items seized by police. At first I thought clónico may refer to an unbranded computer, but there is another item in the list, una torre de cpu sin marca, so I am not sure what this clónico means.
Thanks in advance

Explanation:
Or, as you suggest, "unbranded computer."

"torre de cpu sin marca" = "no name tower computer"

If the architecture is apple-compatible (possible, but unlikely), then you can refer to a computer as a "cpu". Not otherwise. This is an observation based on use in the US, not on dictionary definitions.

Tedious note: "clone" was a common name (eighties) for a computer running MS-DOS that was not made by one of the then-expensive brands such as IBM, Compaq, etc. It has largely fallen out of use.
