Hi @RedGuyz
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Since your system was shipped with integrated graphics.
The 'unusable' RAM is allocated for the Dedicated graphics on your computer, it helps the graphics card to run properly, and also, it doesn't affect the system performance. Rather than having an external graphics chip with its own RAM, the integrated graphics get assigned a block of RAM to use for video RAM.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
