The RAM is part of the "System on a chip" in the new M1 package.  So it's acutally integrated into the CPU.  Makes it fast as hell, but there are only 8 gig and 16 gig options right now.  I anticipate 32 gig and possibly 64 gig versions in some sort of "step-up" release of the chip in 6 months or so.

The iMac has upgradable memory.  Along with the Mac Pro.  I don't believe any others do.
