Many computer historians consider the DEC PDP-1 to be the first minicomputer, but it was still quite large and was built entirely with discrete transistors. Most computer historians consider the DEC PDP-8 to be the first minicomputer as it was actually small enough to sit on a desk and later models were built with monolithic integrated circuits.

The first minicomputers were second generation computers, but the most well known minicomputers were third generation computers.
Cromford mill was the worlds first factory
The minicomputer was invented as early as the mid 1960s and were sold for a cheaper price than the larger computers from competitors that were on the market. It is rarely called a minicomputer now, it is now known as a midrange computer.
Minicomputer systems (desktop, network, laptop, and handheld devices) range in price from $15,000 to $150,000.
