Average Macbook Pro Startup Time?

[MiMiN]

Hey guys I recently got a brand new 15" MBP (late '11) and it starts up in right around 45 seconds after several heavy-duty apps have been installed (FCP, Adobe CS5), and after about ten days of use.



Share your startup times, people!

That is a good time with an MBP using an HDD.
But why don't you just use the SLEEP feature?

 

[GermanyChris]

all told 15-18 seconds

**edit**

W/SSD, in signature I apologize I thought it was obvious

With an SSD, you might add.

 

[Merkyworks]

with an Intel 320 SSD im 15-20 sec.

 

[VMMan]

18 seconds starting with the moment the power button is touched

Early 2011 MBP 17" Intel 320 160GB SSD with stock 750GB HDD

 

[greenchiliman]

SSDs are usually 10-20 secs

HDDs are 45sec to a little over a minute

 

[blueroom]

Yep SSD or the new Seagate 750 XT should improve your boot times.

 

[miniConvert]

I've got the 512GB Apple SSD, boots in ~16 seconds.

 

[snaky69]

Probably around 45 seconds, I never shut down unless an update requires it, wake from sleep is instant.

 

[Krazy Bill]

11 seconds. (Yes, SSD and Snow Leopard)

I just live for these kinds of threads.

But why don't you just use the SLEEP feature?

Some of us are quite mobile and need to squeeze every minute from the battery between uses.

 

[TheJing]

13-14 seconds with SSD.

Ah, it leaves tapatalk users out

 

[dacoolest]

mine too 37 seconds. late 2011 macbook pro with a very few applications installed.

 

[thundersteele]

about 20 seconds with the Apple SSD and Lion 10.7.2. I never timed it precisely.

Anyone got a SSD and is running SL?

That's what I said just a few posts above yours. Many here cut their SSD teeth on SL. (Some painfully I might add )

Same here. Same SSD, same boot time.

 

[Pro User]

25-30 seconds for me on 500gb stock hdd.

Ah right, sorry. 11 seconds is nice.

Btw, concerning your earlier post: Rebooting the system and restarting all applications might consume more power than 1 hour of sleep.

 

[Ccrew]

16 seconds from power on(ssd)

2, maybe three bars into the spin and I'm at a desktop

 

[vitzr]

I've timed mine, from power on to ready desktop.

15" 2010 MBP with OS X 10.6.8
512 GB Samsung 830 SSD = 10 secs.

15" 2011 MBP with OS X 10.7.2
512 GB Samsung 830 SSD = 14 secs.

 

[el3ctone]

wow i feel bad about my startup time after seeing all these short startup times with new model SSDs.

my MBP takes 35 seconds from the time i press the power button until the login screen with my Intel X25-m 120GB =/

 

[lionheart619]

With ssd my MBP takes 15-20 sec.

 

[cameronasy]

People have yet to mention an SSHD

I get 22 seconds from button press to desktop on my 1tb Seagate SSHD, on Macbook pro early 2011 15"

 

[hovscorpion12]

Mid 2013 15'' Macbook Pro W/Retina Display, I would say around 20 seconds or less for start up time. My Mid 2010 15'' Macbook Pro went for around 1 to 2 minutes
