I have a 13-inch Macbook Pro w/ Retina Display, Mid 2014 (MacbookPro11,1). I am looking to upgrade the RAM. Currently, I have 8GB (2x4GB) 1600 MHz DDR3. How much can I expand it to? How do I go about doing it? Or can I even remove the memory? One site said that after 2012, you could no longer remove RAM cards from Macbooks, but I wanted to be sure.

a warranty voiding soldering iron is the only way. Apple insistence on this practice is a deciding factor for many graphic artists and musicians to look at alternative portable computers from other manufactures. I replaced mine with an ASUS ROG and I'm not looking back, it utterly shreds the top of the line MBP and it costs less then the entry level one.
@Ckuan
you can order more RAM at the time of purchase, but you should expect a delay in delivery, I ordered nearly a dozen iMacs in 2015-2016 with 16GB RAM and Apple took more than a month to deliver each of these, they apparently were built to order AFTER I ordered them.
Sorry, but no, the RAM on MacBook Pro Retina models is not upgradeable. The RAM is actually soldered to the logicboard.
Yep. Which is why I won't be buying another Macbook.

FWIW,
You can upgrade the RAMS when you make your order on Apple website online.
