I haven't seen the chart (can't see a link).
But I think the house that you're looking for depends on your use of the computer. On it's own, it's a second house movable property, at least whilst it sits on your desk doing nothing. It's also second if it's lost or stolen.
If your main use is emails, social media, writing and posting on here and other forums, looking up what's going on on the web, then you're right, it's third house. There's no sensible way that it can be squeezed into the eleventh house. If you use it to write a novel, it's performing exactly the same role as a pen or typewriter in the good old days.
If you're using it for mathematical and statistical analysis, storing material used in research, etc, then it's performing a ninth house function, connected with higher education.
If you're using it to make videos then it's fifth house - a leisure activity, unless you intend to sell the finished videos, in which case it's tenth. If you're using it to store your music collection so you can play music to meet your mood, it's again being used for a fifth house activity.
I can conceive that you could use a computer to carry out activities connected with most houses but, as with your research into which one to buy, what matters is how and what you will be using it for primarily.
Given the question as phrased, and especially if you do some or all of the activities mentioned, I'd treat it as a second house possession. Only select one of the other houses if you are asking, 'Will this computer enable me to do X better?'
