Ok

I am a long Term Mac users and I have always love Mac and ****ged Windows off. But today I was having a look at them and I just though they are very quick now and the ones I looked at was Shutting down and booting up quicker than the latest MBP can this be right at all?

Performance was very impressive I just couldn't believe it..

Anyone help here the reason for this

SSDs.

Macs are great because they are instant-on, for the most part. These days, with the streamlining of Windows 10 and SSDs, Windows laptops are just as quick to boot.

Well the mob I saw took 10 secs to cold boot. Windows took 5 secs I just found it odd

My 2 year old MBP cold boots in about 5-6 seconds. If I get the chance, I'll film it and post a video. Not wishing to make excuses, but sometimes display machines have to load retail profiles and may be carrying a bit of bloat.

As far I know, Windows file system does degrade over time, but nothing major.

Would u still choose Mac over Windows laptops
 
Thank you for all the information you provided on this. So Windows is still needing drivers etc and it still get slown down and needing all these protecting softwares?

I have wondered how relevant this still is though - who actually shuts down their laptop still rather than just closes the lid and lets it suspend/hibernate/etc? I can't say I actually boot up laptop from cold more than a couple of times a month...

But if they don't take as long to boot up like they use to from what i have seen some are booting up in 5 secs and that is brill..

What system your using

Macs - pretty much always just let sleep / closed lid etc. The sleep battery life on my home and work Macs is just awesome really.

Not had a Windows laptop in quite a while but I remember being in the habit of shutting it down most of the time

Well Looks like I am sticking to Mac, As I know how it all works and everything I own is pretty much apple LOL.

Just need Apple to hurry up and get a new version out that why I was looking at Windows laptops. I just don't want to buy the current MBP as it over 400 days old. Not as fast Pro chip which should be out on the new one.

I love Windows, but in laptop form MBPs are still in another league unless gaming is your thing.

OS X vs Windows 10 though, my 5k iMac gives me more issues than any of my other Windows based PCs in the house.
