- Smallest in size because of high
component density. - Very reliable.
- Heat generated is negligible.
- No air conditioning required in most
cases. - Much faster in computation than
previous generations. - Hardware failure is negligible and
hence minimal maintenance is required. - Easily portable because of their small
size. - Totally general purpose.
- Minimal labour and cost involved at
assembly stage. - Cheapest among all generations.
Disadvantage
- Highly sophisticated technology
required for the manufacture of LSI chips.
