Desktop computers,video game consoles, laptop, etc. are the examples of micro computer. Just about any computer that you can sit on your desk as a self-contained unit is in the class "microcomputer". This includes PCs, Macs and even laptops.
Moving back in the early days:
Apple II family
Commodore 64/ 128 Listed on Guiness as the best selling Micro computer of the 80's.
Amiga
I still think the C=64/C=128 is the best micro around :-)
( If you are looking at this question right now you probably are using a microcomputer.)
some microcomputers had graphics some had color and sound a microcomputers is also called minicomputers even a microcomputer the size of a refrigerator is called a minicomputer

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).
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.
