The initial 3.0 technical brief (not the actual spec) can be found here. The MXM 2.1 specification is widely available. Only corporate clients are granted access to the standard.

Since the i5/i7 chipset, only 1 Acer model has been released with MXM.Quanta has a number of MXM notebooks, but compatibility with other MXM cards is questionable.Shuttle has an MXM SFC, the x100, that is MXM compatible.Asus utilizes non standard MXM modules in most of their laptops, with a reversed pin on configuration on most MXM 2.1 models (since MXM 3.0 they are no longer reversed) and nonstandard PCB shape and mounting.Compal Electronics' (I)FL90 series uses replaceable MXM. As with full-sized PCIe GPUs, the cards must be capable of accepting the installation of Macintosh firmware in order to work with Macintosh drivers.Most Acer Core 2 Duo era notebooks with discrete graphics cards support MXM. None of their implementations are compatible with other cards due to BIOS/vBIOS and possible electrical routing issues).Apple used MXM cards for their 20' and 24' iMac desktop computers. They also used MXM on their previous generation Thinkpad P70 line, their discontinued 17' workstation line (the w700(ds) and w701(ds)), and some Ideapad series notebooks. HP also used MXM on the Firebird HTPC and HDX Dragon.Lenovo uses MXM 3.0 based Nvidia Quadro cards (the M620, P3000, P4000, and P5000) on its current Thinkpad P71 17' workstation line. Modern Elitebooks are using completely standardized cards, while in the past they were proprietary. Since being bought out by Dell, they use MXM (3.0) on all of their notebooks excluding the m11x and the m14xDell now uses MXM 3.0 on its Precision series, including the m6500, m4600 and m6600.HP uses MXM for most of its Elitebook business series (15–17.3') and workstation blades with a Q3000M GPU, with a K3100M due in February 2014 (outdated information ). They provide excellent BIOS support with MXM structure and have had the largest number cases in which a laptop was upgraded beyond specification.Alienware has been using MXM on almost all notebooks.
