What is a microcomputer?

A microcomputer is a type of computer that is designed to perform tasks that require only a small amount of processing power. It typically consists of a single central processing unit (CPU), memory, input/output devices such as a keyboard and mouse, and one or more storage devices such as a hard drive or solid-state drive. Microcomputers are compact and are often used in homes and small businesses for personal use, word processing, and basic computer tasks. They are also used in embedded systems such as digital cameras, printers, and home appliances. Examples of microcomputers include laptops, desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
