The question of who has the smallest computer might be an interesting one.
Whilst in later years the technology allowed machines to pack a lot more
electronics into the case, the physical size didn't really decrease much - and
in a lot of cases got bigger (quite often due to built-ins like disk drives
that didn't *need* to be part of the main system).
I suppose my Acorn System One is probably my smallest system - two Eurocards,
about 100 x 160 x 30mm in size, complete with built-in keypad, display, tape,
and expansion interfaces.
My Sinclair ZX81 is probably next - but of course lacks a display so needs a
TV in order to really be useful...

This thread is making me and my Data General Eclipse MV/7800 two-rack
mini feel inadequate. ;)
