- zzleeper 15y agoAre you talking about cold boots, or resumes from sleep/hibernate?
- 0x0x0x 15y agoMachine off, cold start to login screen: 6.7s At desktop clicking restart to login screen: 5.9s. Wake from sleep to login screen: 3.2s Lift lid to login screen: 2.8s. Those are single run YMMV, etc.
- cliftonk 15y agoSame numbers here on my macbook pro. Another important stat is that when our laptops wake up, we re-establish wifi connections in ~100 ms, compared to the average of 10 seconds on PCs.
- recoiledsnake 15y ago>average of 10 seconds on PCs Got a citation for that? My PC seems to connect instantly.
- sjs 15y agoAsking for a citation is fair but he did say average and most folks on HN do not use average computers. My guess is that you have an above average machine.
- polshaw 15y agoMaybe, but apple only make 'premium' laptops (especially since killing the macbook), not comparable to an 'average' (read: a few years old, fairly budget) laptop.

- recoiledsnake 15y agoThe video is showing beyond the login screen with the laptop ready to use. So you need to measure from the login screen to desktop and add that to the 6.7s. Or set up autologin(if that can be done).
- GeneralMaximus 15y agoThat's pretty neat. Most Lion users I know have been complaining about poor boot times. My own machine takes 45-50 seconds to boot. I don't have a SSD, but in the Leopard days it used to boot from this same hard disk in about 20 seconds. Lion has also cut battery life in half for a minority of users, and my own machine refused to go to sleep until -- get this -- I turned off Internet Sharing in the Sharing preferences.
