How many memory slot does MBP i7 has?

2 slots. Pretty sure Apple has never made a notebook with more than 2 slots, certainly none in recent memory.

2 slots, the rep was wrong. The maximum is 8GB (2x4GB). Only iMac and Mac Pro have more than two slots
Yup, like others have said. This was the main reason why I chose to have my machine shipped with 8 gig from the factory. Since there's only 2 slots, they come with 2x2gb standard but when you option it out to 8 gig they give you 2x4gb modules. I figured if I did the upgrade myself (which would have been cheaper) I would have then had to sell my "old" 2gb modules on ebay since I would have to completely replace them.
so instead of paying 320 minus at least 60 from OWC (260), you would rather pay 400 bones to have it already in your computer?
What is the $60 difference on a $2000+ mac ?
Almost nothing + all the time you have to spend in it ..
That's 140$ difference (400$-320$-60$) and IMO, it's pretty significant. The surgery takes 10 minutes
it's not a 60 dollar difference, thats a $140 difference with the rebate from the old memory.
Yes its a +2000 laptop, but just because of that doesn't mean you couldn't try to save 140 and putting that to another use. $140 dollars goes a long ways towards a new SSD if that is your type of thing or it could just stay in your pocket. in my experience it takes about 2 minutes total to replace memory in a mac laptop, so the time is minimal.
it just my two cents

Im guessing after selling the two old 2gb's the savings would work out to far higher than $60. True its a fraction of the cost of the whole computer but i can think of quite a lot of things to do with that extra cash... Not meaning to rain on your decision, if i could afford it maybe i would do the same.
