How quick does your laptop start up … Mine takes 12 seconds … Who can beat that?

2.5 seconds, I have the M4 MacBook Pro

I swear sometimes it boots even faster than that. I love mine.

Usually around 90 seconds, but sometimes it’s closer to 1500.

No, you are mistaken. That’s not your boot speed; it’s nonsense. Boot speed refers to when a notebook starts the Windows system, not just the lock screen.

The operating system is fully loaded onto the RAM, which is why the lock screen appears. Let’s not spread nonsense.

@Ari
Actually, both Windows and Linux don’t load the actual desktop environment at the lock screen.

@Ari
If Windows loaded completely into RAM, you wouldn’t be able to use your PC at all. Let’s not spread nonsense. I’m waiting for you to fully load it. Open the task manager after start-up so we can see the loaded processes. Come on, I’m waiting for your 12 seconds.

15 seconds on an HP 15 ultra core 5

49

8 seconds if it’s completely shut down. Usually about 12 seconds when waking from hibernation

50

Mine also takes about 12 seconds from a complete shutdown. i5 5200U, 8GB RAM, Windows 10, and a budget SSD. It’s surprisingly quick for a laptop that’s nearly 10 years old in my opinion.

That’s with fast boot enabled. Well, I don’t have a laptop anymore after it broke down, but I had an older Area-51m (I don’t consider that a laptop) which took 6 seconds without fast boot and an AyaNeo Flip DS that does it in 20 seconds. I also have an MSI Titan 18HX (not calling that a laptop either) which boots in 2 seconds from hibernation and a staggering 40 seconds from a cold boot. For fun, 46 seconds on my Google Pixel 8 Pro smartphone and 4 minutes on my Threadripper workstation.

52

Haha, 5 seconds from pressing the power button to the desktop

53

Here, it’s closer to 6 or 7 seconds, but that’s under Linux.

54

My laptop is so fast I can’t even measure it.

55

8 seconds on an HP Laptop 17-cp0xxx

56

12 seconds, not bad for a dual-core CPU (Intel i5-4300u) in a laptop from 2017

57

Mine takes longer to start up now than it did when I first got it two years ago.

58

15 seconds without fast boot

59

I hate that I’m dumb enough to actually time this. Here is the time from button press to desktop: 24:17 on a Predator Triton NEO 16 Ultra9/4070. I force it to use the 4070 only.

i3 370m boots Linux Mint in 15-20 seconds for me :smiling_imp: i5 9400 boots Windows in 30 seconds :hot_face:
