Toshiba Satellite C55D-B5102

Bought one of these for 50 bucks the other day. Looking to upgrade the graphics card if possible. I've been looking for some information...any at all. Can't find anything anywhere I've looked.
So here's my questions...is the graphics card upgradeable or not, and if so, what is compatible?
What about the processor? I've already got it up to 8 gig of RAM.

hello, i think we need more details for that. we want to know what mobo, ram, proc, and cooler you have. can you tell us?

Everything in there is as it came stock except the RAM.
Amd a8 6410 2ghz,
8 GB crucial ddr3 pc3 14900,
Radeon r5 graphics

Thanks for the quick response!

och, i see it's a laptop. well the proc is just fine same as the ram. i dont know if you can upgrade the video card. i ain't that good with laptops. maybe someone else now, sorry for that

 

[Batteroid]

Not quite sure..it's busy with a factory reset at the moment

 

[Batteroid]

Like I said though, all stock.

 

[Batteroid]

Well thanks for the effort. I'm happy with the proc, was really jusy trying to upgrade the graphics, since I got the thing for so cheap..seemed like it could be reasonable, price wise

The graphics card is integrated with the cpu and thus there is not a separate graphics card.
Even if there was a dedicated graphics card and even if it removable (vs soldered directly to the motherboard) it is not like they are standardized interchangeable parts. They are custom cards designed for that specific chasis or model and are not interchangeable from one laptop to the next. At best the OEM (in this case Toshiba) may have made a better gpu option for that specific laptop model that is swappable. In this case though as stated the graphics chip is part of the cpu.

The CPU appears to be soldered directly to the motherboard so it is also not upgradeable.



It is a very low end laptop, but at $50 it is still a good deal.

No cpu/gpu upgrades, but agree $50 is a steal if fully functional and in good condition.
