    yes that is the same as what I think, also you can see part of the GPU sticking out from under the heatsink. ( look at the end of the heat pipe, it's just there).

    Edit: or maybe that's part of the CPU stciking out, I originally thought that both the CPU and GPU were under that heatsink, but now I think it looks like you have an MXM GPU or another type of removable GPU.
