What's your bootup time on your MBP

[5DollaFootlong]

i have a 2.4ghz late 2008 unibody macbook. it takes between 35 and 50 seconds to boot up.

i have a runcore 128gb ssd inside mine and the boot is only like 15 seconds... not that i cold boot all that often

Stupid question, perhaps, but how are some of you getting these times to tenths or even hundredths of a second?

Inaccurately would be my guess.

Inaccurately? umm how bout using the iPhone stopwatch. when i hit stop that is what came up. is that what it is "exactly?" probably not to the tenth of a second but i who cares?!?! when i hit stop that is what it showed, so i wrote it down.

Around 30 seconds i guess. Late 2008 cheap standard uMBP.
Shutdown around 5 seconds.

its more that the accuracy of a human beings reactions would provide an error of =/- 0.1 or more.

So there's an inherent inaccuracy in the method used to time it.

Hence why my times were averages of several runs. reduces the error percentage

Roughly 6 seconds on the 2.53Ghz 13.3-inch model with stock Apple 128GB SSD.

Mine seems to be about 35-40 seconds....

 

[Pagga]

I get 35 - 50 seconds (specs below)

but you got to ask yourself, does it really matter? its not like we're sending a rover to mars…wait…they did f that up haha.

A little under a minute (13" MBP 250gb.5400/4gb/2.26) although I have a lot of things loading.

Tutorial to achieve optimal boot time

 

[espressoroast]

About 1 minute, 2.2 Santa Rosa with WD Scorpio Blue 500GB.

I noticed VMware is mentioned a few times as very influential, does this mean having it installed and set up with a boot-camp partition alone would have an effect or does one have to set it up to load something at the beginning?

6 secs with the stock Apple ??? Hard to believe ...

12 seconds (brand new macbook pro 2.66ghz 4gb ram etcetc) had it for about a week now.

Actually, it is possible. That's how fast mine booted up when I first got it. I was totally speechless when my new macbook pro booted up so quickly compared to my windows XP/Vista PC. I took the liberty to time it and the MBP booted up in 12 - 13 seconds and ready to work.

ten seconds cold boot w/ intel x25-m. This is on a secure erased drive which == factory specced.

45 ish, varies quite a bit!
320GB WD scorpio.
Then again, I reboot my computer once a month or something.
