Mini computers are just like a PC but smaller than a main frame server.

computers are categories into three. these are: 1) Supercomputer 2) Minicomputer 3) Microcomputer
Just like a desktop (or microcomputer), a minicomputer can have different capacities and hardware. However, minicomputers are almost always multi-user; their operating systems are designed to server multiple people at the same time. A minicomputer is usually physically larger than a microcomputer as well.
A Mainframe OR A Super computer
personal computer, hand held computers,work station, Mid range station, main frame, and supercomputer

the first successfull minicomputer
A laptop would be more suitable because it can handle a bigger load than a minicomputer can. Remember networks are computers that work together, and the main computer will organize the computers and process the information from the computers. Everything will go through the main computer. In other words, you will be better off with a laptop rather then a 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.

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.
