Change memory yourself from 8-16 on the new M1 Chip MacBook Air ?

Can you change the RAM memory yourself from 8-16 on the new M1 Chip MacBook Air ? I would like to get one this week but they are shipping with 8 GB RAM. Can I upgrade myself to 16 later?

Thanks.

No. The memory (RAM) is soldered to the logic board, it cannot be upgraded.

So the only option is to order it from Apple with 16. Thanks
