Get the 256gb PCIe.M.2 drive, that will be substantially faster.

Roughly the same in price ($60 difference) so I'll go with the superior option. Ram looks to be "8GB (2x4GB) 2666MHz DDR4 Non-ECC" which is the standard for this model as far as I can see. What are the practical differences between the two?
The 1tb drive is bigger, but substantially slower. It's a no-brainer to choose the smaller and much faster drive, IMO.
If you need to store a big chunk of data, use OneDrive/Google Drive/etc. as much as possible, or buy an external drive when you need it.
