The cost of a minicomputer can vary widely depending on its specifications and capabilities, typically ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands of dollars. Basic models may start around $5,000, while more advanced systems with higher performance can exceed $100,000. Additionally, factors such as the manufacturer, configuration, and any included software or support services can influence the overall price.

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.

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.
in the matter of fact your current microcomputer or desktop has a much better processing! power than a previous minicomputer!
