I am using a minicomputer right now and it seems that minicomputers might not be able to do what a regular sized computer can but still might have special characteristics. first off a minicomputer is designed to be small (obviously) all though mini computers are also designed for simply internet but can be used for trips on the go depending on if your a gamer most are not designed for that, unless you can change your graphics card- a graphics card is designed for faster speed on Video Games with less lag. if your thinking about getting a mini computer these can be some reasons for one but if i were you i would get one if your in high school or college (in my best opinion). i hoped this helped.

the first successfull minicomputer
The minicomputer was invented as early as the mid 1960s and were sold for a cheaper price than the larger computers from competitors that were on the market. It is rarely called a minicomputer now, it is now known as a midrange computer.
Minicomputer systems (desktop, network, laptop, and handheld devices) range in price from $15,000 to $150,000.

No, laptops and PCs are microcomputers.
The first successful minicomputer was the DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) PDP-8, introduced in 1965. They sold more than 50,000.
so that when you are on the run you can have a minicomputer in your purse or "European shoulder bag" as some call it, and in a way its easier to maintain, its lighter and fun to play games on.
