Hello, I was wondering what the 24” iMac’s bootup time is compared to something like the 2019 Intel MBP, which is roughly 30-45 seconds. Will it be a lot faster because of the M1 Chip? I have a habit of shutting down any technology that I don’t use so I notice the load times on the boyfriends MBP are oddly slow, but this was before the M1 chip transition, so I don’t know if it’s unchanged and I should expect slow bootup times.
Appreciate any help, or a video showcasing the boot up time. :)
 
Should be blazing quick, my M1 MacBook Pro takes around 12-17 seconds from boot up to desktop screen 😁
 
11 seconds. It boots faster than my TV let alone iphone or iPads
