My M1 MacBook takes an order of magnitude longer to start than my Windows Desktop PC. Once it's started up, leaving it on re-logging in takes no time but rebooting takes a while.
- rafram 2y agoThere’s something wrong with your M1 MacBook. I’ve used three and none of them has taken longer than 20-30 seconds from power button to desktop.
- nox101 2y ago20-30 seconds is much longer than the ~6 seconds for my Windows PC. Old article but: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/fastest-windows-10-boot-time,5810.html https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/fastest-windows-10-boot...
- rafram 2y agoIMO having Windows Fast Boot enabled is cheating.
- fennecbutt 2y agoWould it be cheating if an equivalent Apple technology was enabled?
- sigseg1v 2y ago20-30s seems extremely slow but I'm not normally using a Mac. Anecdotally on Linux and Windows systems I commonly see 6-10 seconds on a hard reset with absolutely no optimizations
- callalex 2y agoIt takes a while to verify all the signatures in every chip to make sure you didn’t do something evil like repair your own hardware.
- Pesthuf 2y agoIt really is a shame. When Mac OS X first implemented launchd, its boot times improved drastically. It booted really fast even when computers still using hdds. So when Macs got SSDs, they booted incredibly quickly. But then, with some macOS update, they screwed it up and never bothered to fix it. Imagine how fast those things could boot with their super fast drives and SOCs if someone fixed this regression…
