Ram upgrade to 8GB on mba 2012 possible?

Is it possible to upgrade the ram in the new 2012 Macbook air models? the 13" in particular.

Or is it like the 2011 in which the ram is soldered to the board?

Please advice, if anyone knows.

Thanks,

You can't upgrade, you can only "configure" it when you order the system.

Yes, the memory is soldered to the logic board, and there is no means to upgrade.

And as such, this would be a model I can get at my local bestbuy or apple store correct?

Yes. But you may need to advance order yours, if you go the Best Buy route, and want 8 GB. BB usually limits in store selection to top selling models.
