Does this mean I can finally add RAM to my Mac Studio?!

Probably not, as it's soldered, but they'd probably be happy to sell you a new main board for $1200 and rent you the tool set to do it for another $250 shipped.

Nope, not even that! I just checked it out. You have to enter your serial number, then you can only order the same config that you have when you order a new logic board.

Dang! OK, well as much as I love the machine, I really, really don't like Apple...

Yea. I had a MacBook pro before they started soldering the ram. If it went out I went completely pc for work related stuff

first macbook i added ram myself so when i needed a new one after 10 years i almost got a smaller one not realizing. so glad i went with more ram i would have been so mad.

definitely no. the answer is no. you cannot add ram to the mac studio, it is on the same silicon as the CPU/GPU
