Minicomputers are no longer made, the microcomputer made them obsolete.

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.
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.

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.
