  I wouldn't count on it.  In a laptop, the primary engineering
constraints are weight and power consumption, and customers are
willing to pay for custom components to get those.  So laptop
components are often not interchangable with other laptop models, let
alone with desktops.
  You *might* luck into an exception.
