How are these different?

It probably means that there are two sticks of 4GB = 8GB RAM

The cheaper has an external DVD drive, has a smaller screen, doesn't have an headphone-out/microphone-in combo... You could just read these things yourself since it says them quite clearly.
 


I was thinking more along the lines of leap motion and energy saving between the two. So does it mean the RAM is non-expandable.?
 


You can change the RAM if you so choose if that's what you mean.
