Is the RAM upgradeable on the 2016 MacBook Pro with touchbar?
Hi there,
I am very interested in upgrading my 2016 15" Macbook Pro with touchbar to 32GB. Is this possible? Can the original 16GB RAM be removed and replaced with a 32GB module?
Thanks for any advice on this!

Thanks @elvrich09 and @tomchai for your replies.
No post-purchase upgrades does seem to be Apple's approach to newer Macbook Pros (as opposed to my early 2011 MBP, which I upgraded RAM and HD/SSD on) but this post by OWC, and discussed on MacRumors, shows that the SSD is removeable on the new 2016 non-touchbar model:

That gives me hope that the RAM may be removeable and upgradeable as well (the above posts don't seem to answer that question).

Exteremely unlikely. You can consider yourself lucky if the SSD is replaceable, replaceable RAM would be pushing your luck.

Only the low end 13" with function keys has the removable SSD. The other models don't.

I'm not gonna say that it isn't cause I don't know for sure. But with the retina MBP not having upgradable ram. I can't imagine this model would have removable ram.

Hi, I think is not probable to upgrade from 16gb to 32gb, because the RAM is DDR3, so the top of amount in DDR3 that may support that board is just 16GB, it's an electronic limit
