You are right. From the article : "Update: It's a custom Apple design, not M.2.

Submission + - Dell "sorry" about graphics card advice (pcpro.co.uk)

Barence writes: "Dell has apologised for misleading customers, after a Help page on the company's website exaggerated the benefits of a high-end graphics card. The now deleted Help page showed two identical monitors, the one on the left allegedly using a "standard graphics card" and the other a "high-end graphics card". The monitor with the lesser graphics chip showed a blurry, washed-out image of the Windows desktop, with the more expensive card delivering a sharper, more vivid picture.

"It was never our intention to mislead customers, and we apologise for any confusion caused," a Dell spokesman said, adding the firm had removed the offending images."

Stanislas Mettra, creative director of the upcoming game ‘I Am Alive,’ confirms this once again by saying that the decision not to release a PC version is a direct result of widespread game piracy.

Barence writes: "Dell's website includes a guide to graphics cards for PC novices which contains a dangerous chunk of misinformation. The monitor on the left, labelled as a PC that uses a “standard graphics card”, is displaying a Windows desktop that’s washed out and blurry. The seemingly identical Dell TFT on the right, powered by a “high-end graphics card”, is showing the same desktop – but this time it’s much sharper and more vivid. They’re both outputting at the same resolution."
