A computer that employs a microprocessor as a central processing unit; laptop, desktop, and palmtop computers are types of microcomputers

Personal computer containing processor, input and display devices, and memory.

Based on a microprocessor, and also called a personal computer, an entire microcomputer that can often fit on a small printed circuit board and that works with a data word of four, eight or 16 bits. (7/96)

Any computer using a microprocessor as its central processing unit.

A computer small enough to fit on a desktop, with a single-chip CPU.

also called in other ways, e.g., as a desktop computer, or personal computer (PC), laptop, or notebook; designed as a single-user system, although groups of microcomputers can be linked to share resources.

Any single-user computer with its arithmetic-logic unit and control unit contained on one integrated circuit (the microprocessor); often called a personal computer or PC.

Small computers, inexpensive enough to be purchased by individuals and small businesses. Also called personal computers. IBM, APPLE, Radio Shack, Zenith and Commodore are common manufacturers of micros. [Wow, that was written a while ago. IBM and Apple are still around, along with Micron, Dell, Compac, and Gateway. All the big Web search sites have special pages with information on purchasing and using personal computers; see, for example, Excite's Computers and Internet hardware page at: http://my.excite.com/computers_and_internet/hardware
