microcomputer is a computer with a central processing unit (CPU) as a microprocessor.

Designed for
individual use, a microcomputer is smaller than a mainframe or a minicomputer.

The term microcomputer is not as commonly used as it was during the 1970s-1980s. We now refer to
microcomputers as, simply, computers, or personal computers (PC).

Techopedia explains Microcomputer

A microcomputer's CPU includes random access memory (RAM), read-only memory (ROM) memory,
input/output (I/O) ports, interconnecting wires and a motherboard.

In 1970, Hewlett-Packard (HP) manufactured and released a microcomputer as a calculator with varying
levels of programmability, although the Datapoint 2200 by Computer Terminal Corporation (CTC) is
credited as the first microcomputer. Intel’s x86 processor family can also be traced back to CTC’s release.
