microcomputers

n. personal computer, computer that processes data with a microprocessor (Computers)

Although there is no single definition, a microcomputer (in the 1970s and 80s sometimes shortened to micro) is most often taken to mean a computer with a microprocessor as its CPU. Another general characteristic of these computers is that they occupy physically small amounts of space. Although the terms are not synonymous, many microcomputers are also personal computers (in the generic sense).
