The graphics chip in your laptop probably uses some RAM as it's memory (most laptops share the RAM between the operating system and the video memory), as there's no seperate 'video card' as such like there is with PCs/Macs etc.
You can confirm this by going either into the BIOS settings or Display Adapter settings through Control Panel > Display.
