Shurigan, I concur with GottiBoi55's recommendation, if you are going for the top performance choice, with an 880m, you need the RAID0 to round out the performance.
Asus made the JZ top spec model more expensive than the previous generation JH, but RAID0 is worth it.
BTW, it is an M.2 NGFF format SATA interface, not mSATA.

Thanks to both of you. 😄
Actually I initially started looking at "lower level" laptops and then decided to move to the rog series because those two models can be found at a really good price on italian online shops, compared to other notebooks with inferior specification.
Probably they are already more than what I need, since I won't have time to enjoy their gaming performance so often.
Anyway I think I'll add an SSD on my own. It's not a RAID 0 solution, but it's something.
Last question. Is it possible that another difference between those 2 models is the screen? The 4096 is reported as "non glare", while that's not the case for t4044h.

Shurigan, I understand, it isn't easy to stop going up just one more step in spec when ordering a laptop 🙂
In that case, you might consider a JM or JS? The JZ 880m really is an exceptional GPU, and if you don't game much a JM 860m or JS 870m are going to be much less expensive and also lighter and thinner. The JZ is a heavy beast.
All G750's except for the rare G750JX 3D model have non-glare or matte display's. And, none of the models call out which of the two possible makes of LCD panels such that you would pay more or less depending on which it is.
The i7-4700HQ CPU's are older spec, and the i7-4710HQ are newer spec. My 4700HQ can have it's multipliers unlocked with a program from Intel called Intel Extreme Tuning Utility - XTU - to allow turbo speed up to 3.6ghz, but I haven't had a 4710HQ to look at to see if that is possible with it. So I can't say which CPU is better.
It looks like the higher priced model has the same stuff otherwise, except it has the older CPU.
It makes no sense that the older spec model is listed for more money, but it is possible the seller got a better price on the newer shipment and can offer it for less.
Take the newer cheaper model with all the same parts and a better CPU 🙂

Also, weight and size are not an issue for me. I have another laptop for work, this would be a sort of desktop replacement and actually I also prefer a powerful laptop like that not to be too thin. You know, heat. 😄
