From what I could see, no, that laptop will not have any way to upgrade the video.

Aleinware...meh. Overpriced, and also not made by alienware, they just rebardge other peoples laptops (most clevo IIRC).
I dont actually know of any G-series asus that have a MXM slot. At least a few of the asus models are right #%&^#%&$ to get working with replacement MXM slot cards, asus has done a lot of things that just make the job harder (non-standard mounting holes, flipping the MXM connector, etc)
Not all the 'high end gmaing laptops' will have a MXM slot, and not all laptops with a MXM slot would be high end gaming machines.

Not really. Depending on what you call 'high end'. I've done a MXM slot video card replacement on a system that came with a 8400M chip (Acer 7520G) which I would never call 'high end'.
If you call any laptop with a video card, not poxy intel video as 'high end' then you would be right, I cant recall ever seeing....or hearing about...a laptop with a MXM slot that didnt come with a card in the slot.
