Hello guys, I am new here and I have a question about my laptop mini pcie slot.

I am trying to get myself an external gpu for my laptop. The laptop i am using is a Lenovo Z50 75 with an AMD cpu. I saw that this device should do the job.

From that website i noticed something different about the mini pcie slot on the website picture and the mini pcie slot on my laptop. It said that the the laptop pcie slot is where the wifi card is located. I checked my laptop and the back looks like this:

What I can see is the notch on it is different from an actual mini pcie slot. Of course, i have checked my laptop manual that it is indeed a mini pcie slot.

Is this a mini pcie slot with a different type? or a LAN slot. Sorry if this question is stupid because of my lack of knowledge.
