1) In computers, the form factor is the size, configuration, or physical arrangement of a computing device. The term is commonly used in describing the size and/or arrangement of a device, acomputer case or chassis or one of its internal components such as a motherboard or a daughterboard.

There are four primary motherboard form factors: Mini-ITX. Micro-ATX. ATX. E-ATX.

The most common motherboard form factor is ATX. The different types of ATX are known as micro-ATX (sometimes shown as µATX, mini-ATX, FlexATX, EATX, WATX, nano-ATX, pico-ATX, and mobileATX). A smaller form factor is ITX, which comes in mini-ITX, nano-ITX, and pico-ITX sizes.

For example, the keyboard from a desktop computer cannot fit into the keyboard space of a laptop computer.

There's the standard ATX motherboard, the smaller microATX, and the even smaller Mini-ITX motherboard. The largest of these three motherboard form factors is the ATX or the Advanced Technology Extended motherboard. This was standardized by Intel in 1995.

The most common form factor is ATX, which evolved to mini-ATX, nano-ATX, pico-ATX, and further. A different type of form factor, and smaller than the ATX is the ITX, which is significantly smaller than the micro-ATX. The ITX form factor can also be found as nano-ITX, pico-ITX, mobile-ITX, and more.
