There were no "minicomputers "(by today's standards) then. The smallest computers in service were the size of a large car.

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.
$100-1000
Minicomputer systems (desktop, network, laptop, and handheld devices) range in price from $15,000 to $150,000.
It allowed miniaturization beyond the discrete transistor, allowing the introduction of the minicomputer in the middle 1960s.

Minicomputers were developed in the 1960s and were roughly 19 inches long. A few examples are MAI Basic4, DEC PDP and VAX series, and Prime Computer Prime 50.
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.
