微型电脑与迷你电脑的区别

1. 微型计算机：
微型计算机，顾名思义，是一种专门为个人使用而设计的个人计算机，一般由CPU、数据存储器、I/O总线等单片机组成，一次可供一个人使用。其类型包括平板电脑和智能手机微机、台式机微机、工作站和服务器微机等。

示例：笔记本电脑、台式机、IBM-PC 等。

2. 迷你电脑：
微型计算机，顾名思义，是一种提供大型计算机通常提供的大多数特性和功能的计算机。它通常一次支持多个用户，因此可以说它是一个多处理系统。它是专为商业应用和服务设计的小型计算机，还可以进行分时、批处理、在线处理等。

示例： AS/400 计算机、摩托罗拉 68040、MV 1500 等。
