According to everymac.com, the answer is a maximum of 4x8GB=32GB.

Crucial will sell you 2x8GB for $103.99.

OWC will sell you 1x8GB for $39.99 or 4x8GB for $159.99.

  • So, if you check Mactracker, then 32GB, but Apple says a maximum of 16GB - always Apple gives a lower limit.

  • Sometimes the larger memory does not exist at the time computer is manufactured. When a larger size becomes available Apple does not update its documentation. Apple has solved this problem by not letting you add memory in many of the latest models.
