I have worked in the US in the computer industry for 30 years. "PC" is totally acceptable. Maybe not so good in combinations, such as "tablet PC". "Tablet computer" is better, see below.
Other variations are OK too, such as "personal computer". In many cases, when it is obvious that you are not referring to "old big iron" or massive server farms, just writing "computer" is OK too, and in many cases the best choice. "My computer has crashed". That's what people say. "I had to buy a new computer". Etc.
