Laptop motherboards

Are laptop motherboards generally a higher grade than desktop/tower motherboards? I was looking at a few and they looked more like hard drive boards than desktop boards.

most buyers pay same as large socket mb. they def are more populated.

I was told same as dual socket server boards

That is correct. Different buyers pay different prices thats just what I was told by one of mine

I had a thread about this a while ago. I now keep them seperate from the other motherboards. I actually sold one on ebay that was non-working for $25 and it was less than a pound! It did have gold all around the edges though, an old TI. So in conclusion they probably should have there own catagory as they are definetly worth more pound for pound precious metal wise.
