My newest laptop is closer to that than any computer I’ve ever had since 1984. Mostly because of SSDs I guess, but Windows boots in a few seconds. Usually takes longer to shutdown than to boot.
10ms response is a bit on the fast side. Aside from pros doing sports or music, we (humans) don’t register most kinds responses that fast. Plus a 60hz display is 16ms anyway. These days browsers, editors, and OSes really do usually try to meet this goal for the most common workflows, though there are plenty of demonstrable exceptions. It’s a good goal, I agree with it, but maybe 100ms would be a more reasonable worst-case response time?
- petters 7y ago100ms is too slow for e.g. a pen on a touch screen. The ink will lag behind the pen. But for worst case in general, not bad.
- dahart 7y agoYes absolutely! Drawing needs 60Hz or 120hz or better. I assumed perhaps incorrectly you were talking about one-time responses like apps opening and menu clicks and things like that. My statement above is not good for time-based motion, apps like games and drawing, those are better with 33ms response times or better, for sure, and 100ms is too slow.
