Question
Victor Waters –
the Toshiba Satellite P75-A7100 I have shows 8GB of RAM, yet both RAM slots are empty. Is there another RAM bay hiding elsewhere in the laptop? or, is the starting 8GB onboard RAM in the Mainboard, and not replaceable? I did see mentions of 4 RAM bays. I would hate to get 2 sticks of RAM, and then it be found incompatible with what is already in the other RAM bay…(If there is one)

Further mystery: the Toshiba website shows 4x8GB RAM upgrade slots, to a total of 32GB. If only two RAM bays are showing, where do the other two hide? I saw a video with the bays being under the keyboard. My keyboard does not come up and free as the one in the video did.
Question
Tom Prigge –
This is a long shot that anyone will see this–is the graphics card upgradable? I have started doing some video editing and it would certainly help. Already have 24 gigs of RAM. If anyone knows, I would appreciate an answer. tomprigge@yahoo.com

A great laptop even in 2019, Still snappy with opening windows and apps with no lag time. Dual drive bays and memory expansion. Sturdy build quality and keyboard. Just bought a second for the office. Quality stands the test of time.
