Things you ought to know before buying a laptop motherboard
The laptop motherboard is the central printed circuit board in a laptop computer. Generally laptop has motherboards of different often irregular sizes. The laptop motherboard is the "adhesive" that hold your laptop computer together. Motherboard is the only part in the laptop which connects to almost all parts of your computer either directly or indirectly. Motherboard comes in many different types, thus choosing a specific motherboard can be quite difficult. They differ in size, function, support, and features. Laptop motherboards are said to be the central component of your computer either desktop or laptop. Laptop motherboards tells you that what hardware your computer can support, making it an important consideration when buying or assembling a computer. Important laptop parts you need to know before buying a laptop motherboard.
Form Factor:
Motherboards can be classified into various categories on the basis of form factor. Form factor is an important specification of motherboards, as the form factor tells what kind of computer case can be used with the motherboard.
ATX Form Factor: These motherboards are for full sized desktops. This is the most common of all, as ATX motherboards can fit many features onto their larger, 12" x 9.6" dimensions. In most cases that support ATX motherboards, also support Micro-ATX motherboards as they have similar dimensions, but Micro-ATX is slightly smaller.
Micro-ATX Form Factor: These are for smaller computers. The maximum, and most common size, is 9.6" x 9.6". They are generally bought for less expensive computers, that don't need to many features, or where size is a concern.
CPU Socket: It is the connection between a CPU and the motherboard. Usually all computers have one socket.CPU are now proprietary, supporting a smaller range of CPUs, from the same manufacturer. Mainly two sockets are used - Intel or AMD.
Chipset: These are the set of two main controllers on the motherboard. The North Bridge and south bridge. Chipset plays an important role in the functioning of laptop motherboard.
Memory Support: One other important feature of a motherboard is its RAM support. It includes RAM, DIMM slots and channel support.
Expansion Slots: Expansion slots allow you to connect various external devices to your laptop e.g. T.V. Tuners, Video cards, network cards and sound cards.
Once you are well aware of the above mentioned laptop motherboard parts, then you can decide which motherboard is worth buying.

Could someone please explain in detail what these pieces of a motherboard do/ how they work?
A lot of questions here so anyone who answers what they know would be sweet:)
What do these do/ how do they work?:
CPU and Chipset:
-CPU socket type ex: LGA 1155 <-- whats LGA 1155 mean?
-CPU type - ex: core i7/i5/i3 <-- what does i7 mean? How are these different from one nother
-North bridge chipset? Whats the purpose of an NB chipset?
Memory:
-Memory slots - 4x240pin <-- what are pins? what do they do?
-DDR3 1333/1066 <-- how does ddr3 differ from 1 and 2? what does the 1333/ 1066 mean?
Max mem supported ex:32gb <-- can the cpu use all of this ram?
Dual channel <-- what are channels? what what are duel channels?
Im trying to learn the meanings of these details on computer parts and I would appriciate anyone who takes the time to answer what they know.
Generally, when you buy a new mother board you get a user manual, that explains all the parts of the mother board and it usage.
CPU is the "brains" of the computer while the "chip set" is the FSB front side bus..it controls the flow of data to and from the CPU
LGA = Land Grid Array or, the way the "pins" of the CPU are laid out and how many in your case 1155 pins which is the newest Intel type of CPU the 2000 series.
the i3/i5/i7 is the ranking of CPU types but not their socket size or usage..generally i3 is lower end i5 is for middle usage (what most people can use) and i7 for extreme usage...its just a "name" intel gave to indicate usage.
North Bridge or "chip set" is the bus and controller between CPU, RAM, and video card. in your case it would be called the P67, or H61, or Z68 just different "controllers" The is also a South Bridge that handles the other things like hard drive PCI slots and legacy ports.
If you look at the RAM sticks you see little strips of gold "pins" in DDR3 ram there are 240 of them ( you need to count both sides) they make contact with the corresponding "pins" in the RAM sockets.
DDR3 is "standard" for which the RAM was made...the 1333 or 1600 is the speed of data rate in MHz 1600 "speed" will be faster than 1333 "speed" because of the way they are made and the architecture you cant use DDR2 (older type ram) in DDR3 slots, DDR or DDR1 is the first of the DDR type. DDR stands for Double Data Ram.
Max. memory support is how much ram the board can use...but not all the ram it can take DDR3 ram sticks come in capacity 1GB, 2GB, and 4GB. If you mother board has 4 RAM slots your max capacity would be 4 x 4GB = 16GB Your OS will determine how much ram you can use...if its a 32bit OS you cant use more than 3.25GB of ram but if you have a 64bit OS you can use up to 128GB of ram (no mother Board has enough ram slots for 128GB of ram! you would need 32 slots!)
Dual Channel is a system by which two RAM slots divide the work, that is the both slots access ram sticks at the same time and look for your data. Its doing twice the work at the same time as a single channel ram thus the work gets done twice as fast.
You can google any of the questions to get the "long" answer!
