Microcomputers are classified based on their processing power, memory capacity, and physical size. They are often categorized as personal computers (PCs) and include desktop computers, laptops, and tablets. Additionally, they can be classified as single-board computers, which are full-fledged computers on a single circuit board.
There are numerous classifications of computers based on their capabilities. They can broadly be classified into Supercomputers, Mainframe Computers, Minicomputers and Microcomputers.
Computers can be classified by their computing power and/or physical size. At the top are supercomputers. Then mainframes, minicomputers and microcomputers or personal computers ( PC's) Desktops, laptops and notepads are kinds of PC's. The classification is blurred nowadays by networks of smaller computers and the fact that microcomputers get more powerful all the time.

Many versions of Unix can be run on microcomputers. Xenix, Solaris, Mac OS X, and IRIX all run on microcomputers.
Microcomputers were introduced in 1975 by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Digital computers are classified based on their size into microcomputers, minicomputers and mainframe computers. Other types include supercomputers, network computers, laptops, palmtops and PDAs.
A desktop is one kind of microcomputer. Not all microcomputers are desktops. There are other devices that could also be described as microcomputers, like laptops and tablet devices.A desktop is one kind of microcomputer. Not all microcomputers are desktops.
