Question about expanding RAM in Retina MBP

[MikeonTV]

I have a Macbook Pro 15 Inche Retina
2.4 GHz Intel Core i7 (Early 2013)
Memory: 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

I'm curious how large I can expand my memory to. I'm assuming 16GB? Are there any risks in doing so?

Thanks.

Unfortunately you're not able to upgrade it at all - the actual memory chips are soldered directly to the logic board to save space. You gotta do it at the time of purchase by ordering a BTO model or forever hold your peace.

With the sold state rMBPs, you order all the machine you can afford so it will last you at least the 3 years of AppleCare without an expansion...because you can't don an internal expansion.

Nope, can't expand it at all. It's soldiered to the logic board so it's not user replaceable.

This is why I recommend people getting the 16GB at the time of purchase unless they're planning to upgrade again within 2-3 years.
