I’m a little confused on this.

Does a motherboard from a laptop always go as laptop mobo grade even if it has an integrated chip and not socketed? Or do the ones with integrated chips go as Integrated motherboards?

I would have to say yes. If you review the videos. On Laptop Motherboards. You got the Laptop Motherboard. The evaluation anomalies associated with your board. Can only go Laptop. Hey. Does that board flex? Flip Chip. Where is it? And so on. In my opinion. Submit Laptop. Until Boardsort indicates otherwise. This is an never ending evolving industry. A famous quote. Less is more. Not exactly for Escrap. More an artistic endeavour. As in custom painting automobiles. My point. Escrap evaluations. Stay grounded. It's not what it looks like. But. What it's value is. Boardsort. Final evaluation. Enough said.
Here to learn like everybody else.

Basically you’re looking for a smaller reduced sized motherboard from a laptop (14 inches or larger) with multiple input and output ports/sofkets/jacks and has a cpu, GPU, and multiple controller ICs.

Most laptops have a soldered BGA cpu. Or more rarely a soldered stub pin. But some very high end laptops have socketed CPUs.

Unfortunately for everyone on both sides of scrap what constitutes a “board” of any design is changing quickly.
Keep in mind your cell phone has more ability in you hand than a two drawer file cabinet sized mini from 1980. Things keep getting smaller.
