hey guys,

is the MBA faster in boot up and instant on from sleep than a MBP with an SSD?

Anyone have a video comparison?

The answer is going to be yes as the new MBA was engineered for instant on. The MBP with SSD wasn't ... at least yet. Check some of the videos of boot times out. 15 seconds from power to usable desktop. It's unbelievable. From reports, instant on from sleep is so fast you'll think it never went to sleep. This is also even from it's new deep sleep state (30 day standby).
