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.)

examples of minicomputers are the minis used as interface computers with communications or
radar systems. Minis are also used as the host computers for the Shipboard Nontactical ADP Program
(SNAP I, SNAP II, and SNAP III) Systems. Training for minicomputers is provided through formal A, C, and
FTC schools and may be NEC producing. SNAP system training is an example of an NEC-producing
school. Figure 1-4 is an illustration of a typical

∙ 9y agoA microcomputer is any modern desktop computer. Since mainframes were huge and came first, all the other computer size designations were named in reference to them. So the IBM PC and nearly any other computer that could be purchased since the 1980's would be considered a microcomputer.
There's a bit of a misnomer here too, since mainframes were considered much more powerful. At the time, the terms mainframe and microcomputer were considered mutually exclusive. Now today, many to most of the so-called mainframes are microcomputers in terms of size. However, today's microcomputers are far superior to the mainframes of the 1970's. So the terms for the computer sizes are merely an academic exercise today and have little bearing on the current world.
