Answer:

Microcomputers and minicomputers may sound similar, but they are very different types of computers. Microcomputers usually refer to laptop or desktop PCs that you use in a typical household, whereas minicomputers, which were primarily used from 1960 to 1980, are generally larger, but have limited functionality and slower processors.

Explanation:

Minicomputers can be quite bulky. Just the CPU itself can weigh up to 90 pounds.

Minis were designed to be less complex than mainframes but still provide multiple terminals for multiple users. However, many of these systems were still slower, had less memory and were unable to integrate into larger networks.

Microcomputers are generally considered the smallest, most affordable and most reliable computers. They can also maintain a very high processing speed, as well as ample internal and external storage capacity. Unlike minicomputers, Microcomputers can connect online, form networks and use various input and output accessories, such as laser printers, and CD-ROM/DVD drives.

Minicomputers were primarily used for process control and performing financial and administrative tasks, such as word processing and accounting. Some machines were designed for medical laboratory and teaching aids.

Microcomputers are primarily used for word processing, managing databases or spreadsheets, graphics and general office applications.
