SATA or NVMe In New Computer

I'm looking at buying this computer. They offer it with different disk drive options. According to the item's description SATA maxes out at 550 MB/s while the NVMe maxes out at 3,200 MB/s. So is it worth the extra money? I plan on replacing the HDD with an SSD eventually. Does that matter?
 
Without knowing what you do on your PC, it's hard to say if you will notice a difference or not.

If you're an average user or gamer, the answer is you will really not notice any difference. Another thing to consider is a NVMe drive will likely run very warm in a laptop, so I'd personally use a SATA SSD instead.
 
Imo it's not worth the price premium going nvme. You probably won't notice much if any difference
