I quite agree with that.

Before the FAQ was updated, there were two close reasons (in this scope): not computer related and videogame related (games being the only "exception" then).

After this update adding more exceptions, and the refactoring of the close reasons to take away the ones which were redundant, SU was left with only "not computer related", for this kind of questions.

I agree that indeed, since this is supposed to be the only one remaining about such "out of scope" questions, it should probably be renamed as such. Because indeed, for now, there is easily a confusion, leading to the usual comments: "how come my iPhone is not a computer?", "how come GMail is not software?"

Here is a proposition of a new close reason, with its description:

closed as not Super User related by Diago (*just an example*)

Questions on Super User are expected to generally relate to computer software or computer hardware in some way, within the scope defined in the [FAQ][2].

Other proposition, by fretje:

closed as off-topic by Diago (*just an example*)

Questions on Super User are expected to generally relate to computer software or computer hardware in some way, within the scope defined in the [FAQ][2].

Anyone feel free to improve it by editing it directly.

I quite agree with that.
