Or buy a SSD and get that performance from any computer. . .

Boot defragmentation has been around since XP. Windows 7 does wait to start many system services (called delay start services) and Windows 8 is even more aggressive in delaying non-critical services. Windows 8 also takes the RAM cache trick even further with its hybrid boot feature (http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2011/09/08/delivering-fast-boot-times-in-windows-8.aspx). Not a lot there after that stuff.

Everyone with even a bit of computer knowledge knows that is is a good idea to have 2 drives. One for system and programs, one for data...

How long until main stream companies offers their systems with a SSD/HDD combination ?

i wouldnt be suprised to see a ssd/hdd combo, ssd are getting pretty affordable.

Msata is the keyword. Strange that is not mentioned in this article.

Faster drives are great but I swear bios post times are getting worse not better. I have a dell laptop that takes longer to post than my old 266mhz machine did 15 years ago. It takes almost as long to post as is does to boot windows. Microsoft has been working hard to speed things up but the motherboard folks need to shape up.

+1. I have a Sandy Bridge build with an M4 that takes longer to POST than boot to the login screen of Windows 7.

I don't have an SSD and my 1 month testing Win 7 HomePremium installed in my old machine, only the HDs is new, a sata III connected to a sata II port boots in 30s!

24 seconds too much for me my 3 years old laptop boots Ubuntu in 35 seconds

And my custom arch linux configuration boots to desktop in 2 seconds (no joke, but that is with ssd).

But either way, I don't really see the big deal about boot time.

For me I mostly sleep my computer. Even then, you could just go do something (like get a glass of water) while you wait for the computer to boot.

Lenovo aims high - 24 seconds is pretty good considering that the average boot time for a Windows PC is 36 seconds https://www.soluto.com/boot-time
