I'm surprised he cares about startup and shutdown times.
One of the lovely things about the Mac laptops is that you never have to turn them off. Close them and they go to sleep in a few seconds. Open them up and you're ready to work immediately.
The uptime on my laptops tends to be a few months.
- albemuth 16y agojust checked mine amesen-mac:~ alfredomesen$ uptime 9:06 up 34 days, 10:38, 6 users, load averages: 1.27 1.08 1.17
- calloc 16y agoI agree with the poster that my laptop has uptimes that reach into the months generally. I can't say the same about my Windows machines. 10:11 up 36 days, 1:16, 2 users, load averages: 1.07 1.19 1.22
- tjogin 16y agoMaybe it's more of an easily measured performance indicator than something he cares about.
- grammaton 16y agoBusiness frequent flyers would tend to care about this metric - imagine yourself going through multiple iterations of "please turn off all electronics at this time" could easily get annoyed in a hurry by an overly long boot sequence.
- dasil003 16y agoThere is not one time during an air trip when I shut my laptop down completely.
- seanalltogether 16y agoWait, do you all actually shut your machine off for flights? I just close the lid.
- lukeqsee 16y agoDoes anybody actually turn electronics off? It seems the majority of people simply leave them on sleep/locked/airplane mode.
