They said the same thing about the 2011 line, but the pair 2011 machines I bought, along w/ a large handful of friends that are all also using 2011 models, have no problem with 16GB at all. In fact, the ability to to use 16GB was a primary reason we all jumped on board. I imagine the 2012 line would be fine with it too. Our forum sponsor claims that 16 is the limit. I think that 16GB is the ceiling ... until someone makes 16GB sticks. IIRC, the 8GB sticks were VERY expensive (like $800 each) when OWC rolled them out. 16GB is plenty for most, if not all, laptop users. I have heard of someone that has 32GB on their Windows 7 machine and has yet to break past using 10 (but desktop RAM is relatively cheap, and they only wanted to put it in once).
