A mini computer is compact yet powerful enough to handle substantial processing tasks. It stands between the larger mainframe computers and the smaller personal computers in terms of size and capacity.
Historically prominent in the 1970s and 1980s for business and scientific applications, mini computers faced a decline with the rise of personal computers and servers. However, they have recently gained traction again, particularly in embedded systems and specialized applications, thanks to their processing capabilities.
Notably characterized by their scalability and flexibility, mini computers allow for system expansion through the integration of additional hardware and software, catering to growing or changing user needs.
