The memory is soldered to the board. The answer is no. Buy it with 8GB now and save the hassle(4GB from the time this was answered). If you were to try to add memory with a rework machine, consider the warranty void.

The memory is soldered to the board. The answer is no. Buy it with 8GB now and save the hassle (at the time I answered this, it was 4GB. This problem is now fixed and 8GB is standard on the 13".). If you were to try to add memory with a rework machine, consider the warranty void.
The answer to it seeing the RAM is a solid yes. Apple just varies how much is put on the board.
If you have the equipment to swap the RAM you can do it, but most of us don't know how or own the equipment. It's possible but not for the feint of heart. iFixit didn't try because they probably don't have a rework machine to do it, which is required to remove the RAM chips.
