Isnt the 120 SSD more worth it vs the 750 GB SATA at 7.2k Rpm ?
 
You more than likely never heard of anyone (well except MSI) who actually makes a laptop.

Lenovo doesnt make laptops
HP doesn't make laptops
Dell doesn't make laptops
Apple doesnt make laptops
Toshiba doesn't make laptops
Sony doesn't make laptops

What theyu do is buy them from ODM's and resell them to big stores who sell them to us.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_laptop_brands_and_manufacturers

The vast majority of laptops on the market (94% in 2011) are manufactured by a small handful of Taiwan-based Original Design Manufacturers (ODM), although their production bases are located mostly in mainland China.[2]

Major relationships include:[3]

Quanta sells to (among others) HP, Lenovo, Apple, Acer, Toshiba, Dell, Sony, Fujitsu and NEC
Compal sells to (among others) Acer, Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo and HP/Compaq
Wistron (former manufacturing & design division of Acer) sells to Dell, Acer, Lenovo and HP
Inventec sells to Toshiba, HP and Lenovo
Pegatron sells to Asus, Toshiba, Apple, Dell and Acer
Foxconn sells to Asus, Dell, HP and Apple
Flextronics (former Arima Computer Corporation notebook division) sells to HP

Clevo was the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) for Alienware before Dell bought them.

http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/91510-clevo-guide-v2-0-faq-reseller-info.html

CLEVO is a large Taiwanese computer company specializing in laptops. While the Clevo brand name is perhaps not widely known, their products are re-branded and sold by known boutique brand OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers)… notably Sager, VoodooPC, Falcon Northwest, Eurocom, etc. They are also considered (by whoever knows about notebooks) to design and manufacturer the best of the best notebooks in terms of superior build quality and innovative designs

Isnt the 120 SSD more worth it vs the 750 GB SATA at 7.2k Rpm

No. It's not a 7200 HD .... It's a 7200 rpm hybrid SSD/HD

I have one of these lappies with an Intel 512 SSD and a 7200 rpm hard Drive
I have one of these lappies with the 7200 rpm Hybrid SSD / Hard Drive (Seagate Momentus XT)

You can't tell them apart. The C:\ OS Partition on both takes up about 68GB .... you have about 112 GB of storage on a 120 GB SSD. Can you live with 42 GB for all ya programs, games and Data and still leave 15% (18GB) free as recommended for any drive ? That's 24 GB left for actual use BTW.

I bought the SSD and HD one 1st ..... the hybrid 2nd..... The hybrid boots takes less than 1 second longer to boot than the separate SSD / HD

I understand , and honestly i really did not know that. Thank you for the info.
Thanks allot , i guess i shall go with the hybrid then.
By the way,
Is the windows really important? I mean 7 vs 8 or pro vs ultimate ?
And can the 770 witstand high polly scenes (around 16mill and up) withought dropping below 9fps in shaded view-port ? I know the desktop version can , from different blogs ,but i dont know anything about the laptop version .
