kozukumi Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Zenbook pro with pcie ssd And keep in mind I only counted the windows boot(bios logo shows for 1 second) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJSHKXdUNgc Can't complain about boot time Keep in mind windows boots faster since windows 8 because of some pagefile tricks, a full restart makes my system boot slower(3.8 sec). God damn! How much was that laptop though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jub Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJSHKXdUNgc That's faster than my Haswell i7 and PCI-E SSD resumes from sleep with Windows 10. Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kozukumi Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 that's just the boot till login screen. It is post-BIOS to desktop which is the boot speed. Normal measures do not include POST times because that is not something the OS can control at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seahorsepip Veteran Posted September 7, 2015 Veteran Share Posted September 7, 2015 God damn! How much was that laptop though? Just a normal zenbook pro (1750 eur) which had the sata ssd replaced with a pcie ssd from samsung(same as on the model that has pcie ssd built in from the start).

Circaflex Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 +Seashorsepip Windows boots faster because it truly isnt shut down, its doing a hybrid-shutdown. Try using shift+shut down to actually shut the machine off. Now try booting and see what the time is that it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDT Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 Guys, this is not a "boot time contest". While I can understand that the 1.2 seconds boot time can (maybe) be achieved in "lab" conditions (like cars fuel consumption, for example), I do see a big difference compared to other distros and Windows, in my case. So, for me, it's a big improvement. Obviously, for someone with a really high-end system, the difference will be tiny, but that's not the point. This distro has about the same number of applications (if not more) than elementary OS, and yet its boot time is way lower than eOS's. THAT is the point. A lightweight distro vs. another lightweight distro, on the same hardware, with so much difference in boot time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exotoxic Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Booting to "live cd" from a USB2 stick was < 3 seconds, i expect it will be more when its installed. The UI wasn't too bad either, something to think about when windows goes subscription only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
