A friend of mine happened across a prototype laptop a few months ago. In an effort to keep him out of trouble, let's just say it was *not* an HP Firefly. :

Well, it boots up and works, but the 19" 1080p screen is very dim. He wants to take out the CPU (Socket P), RAM (200-pin), and video card and shove them all into a desktop case/mobo. The problem is the video card... we don't recognize the slot.
It registers as PCIe in the OS, but I feel like it's a proprietary connection made just for this laptop. It's a Radeon 3870 x2 Mobility, so I know he can always replace it with something else if it's too much trouble... but we figured we'd see if there was an info out there first...
So, what connector/port/slot is this? Thanks!
