logic board

Main circuit board

A logic board is the main circuit board in a computer, particularly associated with Apple Macintosh computers, where the term originated.

It contains the central processor, memory slots, and connections for other components, serving as the foundation that allows all parts of the computer to communicate.

Outside Apple contexts, the same component is typically called a motherboard.

The repair shop quoted me $600 to replace the logic board in my MacBook.
