Both.

Overall, computers are generally referred to as electronic devices but they are a combination of electronic and mechanical parts. The most common hard drives read a magnetic storage disc mechanically, though the new solid state drives that are taking over have no moving parts. Optical drives, CD/DVD, have mechanical parts to read the disc and the cooling fan is mechanical as well. I suppose a computer with a solid state drive and no optical or floppy disc drive or fan could be nearly totally electronic.
