no, it isn't for desktops only. it's for any graphics card related discussion.

the notebooks that have removable graphics cards are few and far between(not to mention large and heavy) and yours is definitely not one of them.

No, not necessarily. Most, if not all gaming and workstation oriented laptops have the GPUs in MXM slots.
