The print out is what is meant as "display" in the definition. Anything that shows the results of the act of the computing.. Of course it means remote viewing on another computer etc..That is the beauty of the definition. The definition that I posted is great. Again, some of the BEST definitions are the simplest. But more importantly it is the "top of the page" definition that is found in dictionaries, and it is the "common" usage of the term. Is there a different standard for computers than other definitions? Would a more strident definition cover certain calculators, & other computing devices?
Sure, the ENIAC is a "type" of computer like the calculator is another type, and the Razberri pie is another type. In the ENIAC, there was an input and an output, The "display" can be a sequence of flashing lights, a solenoid Morse code clicker, a printer...
The word "display" has nothing to do with video monitors. It means "visibly/seeing the results" of the process of "computing."
The "better" definition of a chair doesn't require 4 legs as part of it. That would eliminate all those chairs that have one pedestal type leg.
I understand that you got frustrated. I would be grateful if you didn't let that turn into insults or an insulting tone. As stated in any definition, any particular computer can only be an EXAMPLE in the definition. A typewriter is NOT a computer, because it does not perform "mathematical or logical programmed operations." Even though it does have an input and an output.
This ARM board is not yet a computer, (it only has potential). It becomes a computer when you add "one of the many supported" I/O devices, - like John's board.

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
