ENIAC vs Enigma.. I guess ENIAC wins The Enigma was just a mechanical device.. just like Pascal's calculator.

The ENIAC on the other hand, had a sort of "processor" (ALU) which was taking all the room or about that, except that whereas we use transistors that we can fit 1,000,000 of them on a toenail, they were using tubes

Like in a guitar amp. One tube for a transistor
