That's another conundrum - I was in lust with the MacBook Air and it's instant on that I could whip out on UK commuter trains and use as if it was as versatile as an iPad. But Lion makes this less possible... seconds on UK trains seem like much longer...
- whiskers 15y agoI'm using a 2011 Macbook Air that came with Lion and from opening the lid to login prompt takes about a second. I'd never shut it down fully because the battery life is so good I don't need to!
- rayhano 15y agoThat's interesting. This is what I really want to delve into - can an Ultrabook perform a similar miracle? And if so, which one?
- whiskers 15y agoSo long as you have an SSD and enough memory the startup speed really comes down to how the OS handles sleep/hibernation - it's a software problem.
- rayhano 15y agoI wish it was just down to software. I have seen some Windows 7 machines, like the Vaio Z, boot up like a demon. And others that are hamstrung.
