actually they aren't, the microcomputer effectively made the minicomputer obsolete by the late 1980s. microcomputers can now do anything minicomputers could faster for less cost in a smaller package.

Is memory size of mini computer is higher than micro computer?

Yes, with a small disclaimer. A micro computer, also known as a computer chip or chip is tiny, generally smaller than your finger. The memory available here is contained inside the chip. Size generally around kilo Bytes to mega Bytes. A mini computer is big. It is like a personal computer on steroids but still not as good a super computer. When referring to the memory here we usually think of separate memory modules, just like what you have in your home computer. Size generally from Giga Bytes and up. A mini computer does however consist of chips and this is where my disclaimer comes in. Chips interface external memory (which is also built of chips..) and the only limit here depends on how much the chip can address. Forgive my sloppiness and note that a micro computer chip is quite different from a memory chip, as the memory chip mainly stores and trancieves data while the micro computer can also execute a man made program...

Classification of computers are given below.(1) Micro computers: These computers use a microprocessor chip and this chip is used instead of CPU means that this microprocessor chip works as a CPU.These computers are also called personal computers. Two major types of these computers are laptop or Desktop computers. Only one user uses these computers at time that's why they are also known as personal computers.(2) Mini Computers: These are powerful computer. These computers come into existence in 1960s at that time mainframe computer was very costly. Mini computers were available in cheap prices, so users start using it.(3) Mainframe Computer: It as a very powerful and large computer. You can get idea of its power as it can handle processing of many users at a time.Terminals are used to connect a user to this computer and users submit there task through mainframe. Terminal is a device which has keyboard and a screen. By using terminal users put inputs into the computer and get the output through screen.(4) Super Computers: As the name "super computer" specifies that these are most powerful computers even than mainframe. Actually, when we optimize a mainframe computer then we get super computer.(5) Microprocessor: You will find these computers everywhere. Microprocessor chips are used in many devices as I-pod, DVD, headphone etc.
