Microcomputer
Microcomputer - a computer built around a single-chip microprocessor.
Less powerful than minicomputers and mainframes, microcomputers have nevertheless evolved into very powerful machines capable of complex tasks. Technology has progressed so
quickly that state-of-the-art microcomputers - essentially, in today’s terms, a desktop PC - are as powerful as mainframe computers of only a few years ago, at a fraction of the cost.
