Question 1

Is the keyboard backlit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The light turns off when the keyboard has been inactive for a couple minutes and turns back on when you start typing again. You can also turn off the backlighting completely by hitting F8.

Question 2

Can I add mouse to this device?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I have a cordless mouse that uses a USB dongle that works fine. I'm sure a corded USB mouse would also work. It also has Bluetooth so I'm guessing a Bluetooth mouse would work as well.

Question 3

Is the current memory a single 8gig stick, or  two 4gig sticks? I want to buy a 16 gig stick, to stick in but seeing as it's limited to 20gig max memory, perhaps I should buy a 16 and a  4 gig stick to replace the current memory installed.

Accepted Answer

As far as I know, this laptop only has one memory slot total.

Do a google search for "A515-54G-70TZ memory" and the crucial web page will show you a list of compatible memory configurations.

Question 4

Is it a touch screen?

Accepted Answer

Not to my knowledge -- at least I've never tried.  Actually I have poor eyesight and the images were too  small for me to read.  (Might be OK for younger eyes.)  I gave it away and replaced it with a desk-top computer with a great big screen.

Question 5

Can the GPU Graphic Card memory be upgraded above 2 GB?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately, the 2 GB MX250 is soldered to the motherboard.  It would have been nice if the 4 GB MX250 was installed in this model since some video apps require at least 4 GB.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Question 9

Accepted Answer

No

Question 10

Does the USB-C port support power delivery and MHL so I can hook it up to a USB hub for my monitor and power?

Accepted Answer

My only experience so far with the USB-C port has been to hook up an external CD-ROM drive, which does indeed draw its power from the port. I hope this helps.
