What are advantages and disadvantages of microcomputers?

Answer 1

Before the invention of the microcomputer, computer's were large, complex, and expensive, often occupying entire rooms. The microcomputer was much smaller, and could easily fit on a desktop. While they initially had limited processing power and memory, they were relatively cheap and become popular as home computers. From the 80's onwards, they became more and more powerful, but with the advent of the IBM Personal Computer and its compatibles, they became easier to maintain, highly upgradable and (gradually) more user-friendly -- making them ideal business machines as well as home computers. The term microcomputer isn't used very often these days -- it simply means small computer -- but it differentiates home and business computers from mainframes and supercomputers. Today, the need for desktop microcomputers is much less, however the term encapsulates laptops and other mobile devices which have begun to replace the desktop PC to a large extent.

The disadvantage of the microcomputer is the lack of processing power. While they are by no means under-powered for the tasks they were intended to fulfil, we still need mainframes and supercomputers for their superior transaction and mathematical processing abilities. So, ultimately, the only real disadvantage of a microcomputer is when it is used inappropriately.

Answer 3

There are many advantages to owning a mini computer, like a net book. For one thing, it is extremely portable and lightweight. For another, it has the capability to perform almost every task that larger computers can do.

Answer 4

Assuming you mean a netbook, there is a lack of sufficient RAM to run programs other than the internet. There is a lack of an ability to save files, requiring a flash drive or an online file "locker." If you only use a computer for browsing the web and using online email, a netbook is right for you. If not, it is worth the extra money to get all of the features of a laptop.
