    I would say yes, but I'm not 100% sure. I'm VERY sure the only mPCIe port on the inside is occupied by the WiFi. And further, it's probably Atheros WiFi also. And if I'd have to guess further it's an AR9285 card. The only thing I know for CERTAIN, is that the mPCIe in the W, is a Half-Mini. That "Broadcom" HD accelerator card won't fit. If you look at this pic, the little one is the size card that will fit in the W....

    I don't know if you've seen the W series owners thread in the owners lounge at the top of the forum. A owner posted a picture that confirms that the W does have a spare mini pci slot for the WWAN. Whether that would work with what you're intending to use it for i don't know.
