Start up speed

Around a minute, maybe more some times. Stupid laptop =\

 

my insanely old IBM Thinkpad (900MHz Celeron) took about that long. hit the power button, and then have enough time to go file my taxes on the other PC

 

Are you tempting me to buy a MacBook??!!

Which one you are using btw?

 

she's a temptress this one

that's enough to convert me, well actually I'm $2K short but beyond that I'm there

about 1 second (I only leave my MacBook in sleep mode)

 

my desktop takes around 30 seconds, sometimes less then that, its very fast

 

My speed is fast but it takes 4 to 5 minuets to load the messenger. It should go faster since it only 6months old. Anyway, that gives me enough time to get my coffee in the morning so it all works out.

 

er..you missed a few poll option!! Under 15 seconds. 16-30 seconds. 31-45 seconds. 46-A minute!!!

I'm at max, 30 seconds, iMac, except right after I do something like download OS upgrades.

 

Same here....must be more than a minute

 

my pc scans the boot sector with an antivirus program before starting so takes a little longer, i think 4 minutes startup is worth the protection of the HDD and bios

 

How do you have the patience?? ever considered a macbook? They have extremely fast star up times! ( I don't own any shares to Apple btw )

 

Yup,usually it takes 10 sec's only.

 

Those are on the long turn ups! 5 seconds normally Atleast for me

 

you people with macs make me sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and envious

but mostly sick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


both my DT and LT are at a standstill now. DT used to be about a minute now it's like 3.

LT used to take 17 milli seconds now I can cook a bag of popcorn, eat it, and then floss before FXP is done doing it's thing

 

Ah! I would not have the patience for your computer how long have you had it for???? Seems like its slowing down as it ages

 

I rarely shut down my MB,it's in sleep status mostly.So it takes 1 sec' only to wake it up!

@timsdd.
lol.that's cool,I never knew we could cook popcorn on a LT.

 

i only ever restart/shut down my pc once every 2-3 weeks, unless a windows update makes it do it while i sleep or i'm out.
if you dont turn the pc off, you dont have to wait for it to boot lol
so 4 minutes every 2-3 weeks is cool, i hit start/restart and go make a coffee by the time the coffee is ready, so is the pc
multi tasking, being female to, you should know how to multi

 

LT 8.888 months DT about 1/2 that time.
I need to button down my config and just reclone the drive every 2 months!!! got to love windoze

well you could, it's hot enough!

 

I guess I can do that on my MB too,ya know mb's have heating issue.

 

all I'm saying is I could be a much faster swimmer now that all my leg hair has been singed off
