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.
No, laptops and PCs are microcomputers.
Carlos Negrete and Harlon Anderson
Many computer historians consider the DEC PDP-1 to be the first minicomputer, but it was still quite large and was built entirely with discrete transistors. Most computer historians consider the DEC PDP-8 to be the first minicomputer as it was actually small enough to sit on a desk and later models were built with monolithic integrated circuits.
It allowed miniaturization beyond the discrete transistor, allowing the introduction of the minicomputer in the middle 1960s.
A minicomputer is a computer of medium power, more than a microcomputer but less than a mainframe. This class of smaller computers were developed in the mid-1960s and a possible candidate for the first early and highly successful minicomputer was Digital Equipment Corporation's (DEC) 12-bit PDP-8 made in the US.

computers are categories into three. these are: 1) Supercomputer 2) Minicomputer 3) Microcomputer
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.

The first successful minicomputer was the DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation) PDP-8, introduced in 1965. They sold more than 50,000.
