Motherboard or Mainboard

The motherboard is the board that all internal laptop components are connected to. Motherboards in laptop computers are different than desktop motherboards because they do not have to adhere to a specific form factor like desktop motherboards do (AT, ATX), they are designed and shaped differently for every laptop. Also, laptop motherboards are not as upgradeable because many components like video and audio are integrated into the motherboard and they may have no expansion slots available at all.
