The latest updates to MBPs non-retina say they can support upto 8 gigs of RAM. I had a mid-2011 13 inch MBP which I upgraded to 16 gigs.

The 13 inch MBP has 2 RAM slots. Has anyone successfully added 16 gigs to this version MBP? Is it possible?

Thanks in Advance

This article from the MacObserver says yes.

Based on the article references by @Matthieu, I ordered 2 8gig RAM sticks from Other World Computer and have successfully installed 16 gigs of RAM on my 2012 MacBook Pro. The System Info panel does display 2 slots as containing 8 gigs each for a total of 16 gigs.

If you are ordering RAM please ensure that the voltage spec matches the newer model's 1.35V instead of 1.5V from the previous (2011) version. I do have 2 sticks of PC 133 DDR3 but the voltage requirement is 1.5. This could cause issues like some users have reported.
