    I suspect it's a Hybrid HDD (1TB HDD + embedded 8GB SSD as cache) rather than two separate drives.
    No need to reformat IMO - unless you want rid of Windows 8!

    Ah. I bought a laptop with a small SSD cache drive, but it was separate, so I just bought a decent sized on.

    I always reformat a new machine to get rid of the manufacturer installed bloatware.

    It would be a hybrid drive, funny old things! Did a bit of work for WD the other week for a new version.

    You always want rid of windows 8![:x][:x][:x]

    Personally I'd go for the cheaper one. It has a 3yr warranty instead of 1yr and the i5 instead of bigger i7 won't make any real difference to games.
