What exactly do you wanna know?

Mini and micro computers are just small computers. I don't believe there is a set in stone standard. Some would properly argue that a mini pc is a pc with a mini itx motherboard in it.
But it doesn't sound right to me, because micro atx motherboards are bigger than mini itx motherboards.

Mobile computers are just laptops and tablets. Technically also smartphones.

A mainframe is a collection of computers working together for large data processing. They are usually rack styled computers installed in a large cabinet.

A supercomputer is a computer that performs near the current highest possible floatingpoint operations per second (FLOPS).
They are usually used for science.
