OS Boot Times: I don’t care
November 21st, 2009 | Published in Rant
So every time I see OS reviews inevitably the focus turns to boot times. Since I use OS X, I only rarely turn off my computers (desktop or laptop) – I just put them to sleep. About the only time I boot them is when there is an software update that requires it.
I come in to work, hook the MBP to an external monitor, hit a key, and off I go within a couple of seconds.
When I’m mobile, I open the laptop and again, off I go.
Shutdown / reboot cycles are just so old school and … irrelevant to me.
Is it just me? Is this really important to folks, or is this just a habit of reviewers from the era when resume / power management was non-existent / primitive?
