4. fusion drive smart decision if want fast , quite machine?

5. fans running loud on imacs? have had borrowed macbook pro retina 15 , quite machine ever worked with.

answers...

1. without checking guess, looking @ much more 50%. more 2-5 times faster.
2. source indicates iris pro being 25-50% faster: http://www.pc-specs.com/gpu/compari...ro-graphics-5200-desktop-vs-radeon-hd-2600-xt. take grain of salt.
3. honestly, best way visit local apple reseller.
4. above all, it's compromise between speed , storage space. if fast , quiet needs, better served ssd.
5. not, can't machine. if it's integrated gpu, should keep fan noise levels low. typically apple computers whisper quiet when not under stress. can ramp quite bit while under stress.
