A computer whose central processor unit is a microprocessor is known as a microcomputer. A microprocessor is typically one single IC integrating the entire central processor, …although some early microprocessors required a "chip set" of several ICs in the same microprocessor family. Typical ICs in a "chip set" implemented specific units of the central processor (e.g. arithmetic logic unit, microcode sequencer unit, interrupt prioritization unit, memory management unit) and/or were "bit slices" allowing the designer of a specific microcomputer to customize the word size of the microprocessor for his specific application. Prior to microprocessors, central processors were designed and built from individual logic gate ICs, discrete transistors, magnetic amplifiers, or vacuum tubes; such central processors typically consisted of tens of thousands of individual parts (instead of a handful at most, as in a microcomputer) and occupied many cubic feet of space. The smallest minicomputers (built from individual logic gate ICs) were only slightly smaller than a 2 drawer file cabinet and weighed 80 to 90 pounds; the smallest modern microcomputers can be easily held in one hand and often weigh less than an ounce, many of these tiny microcomputers actually contain several different microprocessors each dedicated to different functions.

Microcomputers, otherwise known as netbooks, can cost as much as seven hundred dollars or cost as little as one hundred dollars. This variance in cost is because some netbooks… have less features than others, thus costing less. (MORE)
This is usually credited to Ted Hoff for the Int e l 4004. However a secret military microcomputer for the F-14 fighter predates his work by roughly 3 years. It was not decl…assified until the late 1980s. It does not have a single identified inventor as it was a team project. (MORE)
A microcomputer can have core capabilities or functions. The firstabilities are the related computation and storage of data. Thesecond core is being able to access, then conve…rt to out signalsfor display, and the transmittance of data across networks. Amicrocomputer by definition can take and execute the instructionsof its programs and operator also. (MORE)
The definition of a microcomputer is a computer that works in scale that is lesser than the traditional desktop machine. A microcomputer will contain all of the integral worki…ng parts of a normal computer but without the same physical framework. An example of a microcomputer is the Commodore 64. (MORE)
