Upgrading RAM on a new 21.5" iMac

Hi all. I am looking to buy a new 21.5" iMac from the Apple website. Does this model have the hatch on the back allowing me to upgrade my RAM at a later date like the 27" does? Thanks in advance!

When you buy a 21.5” iMac please buy with as much RAM as possible and the largest SSD you can afford. Do not buy one with 8 go of RAM and a 5400 rpm HD. Just spend the money and get the specifications you need. These machines are NOT intended to be upgraded after the fact.
