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 😱
