It's the replacement for mini-PCI-express and it's used in almost every laptop these days.

Good to know. What I meant to say is that it doesn't appear that there is any space for users to add boards like this. in a MacBook pro (which is what I have). I was just confused since this talked about being something that would fit in a laptop, but I can't imagine a laptop shipping with an FPGA board inside it, unless it was a really specialized laptop meant for hardware development.

Some MBPs can use M.2 interfaces although it requires an adapter to work with Apple's proprietary PCI-e connector. That said most people won't use these in laptops, and FPGA development on a Mac tends to be pretty frustrating anyways (at least in my experience).
How many computers (desktops or laptops) support this? I think it's safe to assume my MacBook pro doesn't have space for one of these inside.
