    Does the E1505 have a PCI-E slot available if you get the on-board graphics option when you order it. As in, can you upgrade it with an aftermarket card?

    Thanks!

    When ordered with Onboard-Graphics, there's no slot for other cards. --> You can't upgrade in the future.

    For the most part laptop GPUs are not upgradeable.
