A mini PC (or miniature PC, nettop, or Smart Micro PC) is a small-sized, inexpensive, [1] low-power, [2] [3] legacy-free desktop computer designed for basic tasks such as web browsing, accessing web-based applications, document processing, and audio/video playback. [4] [5] [6] The word nettop is a portmanteau of network and desktop.
A superminicomputer (Interdata 7/32) preserved in a museum. A superminicomputer, colloquially supermini, is a high-end minicomputer. [1] The term is used to distinguish the emerging 32-bit architecture midrange computers introduced in the mid to late 1970s from the classical 16-bit systems that preceded them.
A minicomputer, or colloquially mini, is a type of general-purpose computer mostly developed from the mid-1960s, [1] [2] built significantly smaller and sold at a much lower price than mainframe [3] and mid-size computers from IBM and its direct competitors. By 21st century-standards however, a mini is an exceptionally large machine.
The RISC System/6000 (RS/6000) is a family of RISC-based (Reduced Instruction Set Computer-based) Unix servers, workstations and supercomputers made by IBM in the 1990s. The RS/6000 family replaced the IBM RT PC computer platform in February 1990 and is the first computer line to see the use of IBM's POWER and PowerPC based microprocessors.
The MK802 is a PC-on-a-stick produced by Rikomagic, a Chinese company using mostly two series of systems on a chip architectures: . AllWinner A1X SoC, based on an ARM architecture, composed of an ARMv7-based Cortex-A8 1 GHz processor, a Mali-400 MP GPU, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, and a VPU CedarX capable of displaying up to 1080p video.
Scalable POWERparallel (SP) is a series of supercomputers from IBM.SP systems were part of the IBM RISC System/6000 (RS/6000) family, and were also called the RS/6000 SP.The first model, the SP1, was introduced in February 1993, and new models were introduced throughout the 1990s until the RS/6000 was succeeded by eServer pSeries in October 2000.
The Handheld PC (H/PC) is a class of portable computers running Windows CE created and marketed by Microsoft.Introduced in 1996, the intent of Windows CE was to provide an environment for applications compatible with the Microsoft Windows operating system, on processors better suited to low-power operation in a portable device.
The first PowerPC notebook released by IBM was the RS/6000 Model N40, which was developed together with Tadpole Computer. It was announced in March 1994. [1] The start of the sale was announced in October 1994. [2]
