I am about to order a new Macbook Pro 2015 model with 2.8GHz CPU and without a dedicated GPU (because I heard they can create problems down the road).

Questions:

1. Does the speed of the SSD differ for 256GB and 512GB? Do they break easier?
2. Will this laptop work ok? I am really interested in how the screen on the laptop is run with just the Iris Pro Graphics.
3. When will the fans start? For example on my Macbook Air 2014 I can browse the web, Youtube, Xcode, Photoshop and Illustrator without it kicking in, is it the same for the Pro?
4. How is battery life over time, it will handle 500 charges without loosing too much juice?


Sorry for so many questions.
