We had to develop a new interface for swappable GPUs to make the graphics card and mainboard co-planar. MXM requires the graphics card to be stacked above the mainboard, which results in really thick laptops. This is part of why MXM is largely dead for consumer usage and lives on mostly for industrial and embedded applications.
