Hello everyone, I watched some videos about boot times. Most laptops launch in around 10 seconds, while my desktop takes 15 seconds, even though they have similar or better specifications. I’m curious—do laptops generally boot faster?

Boot durations mainly hinge on two elements: 1. Data transfer rate. 2. Count of applications launched at startup. My computer using a very fast M.2 storage boots in 8.2 seconds.

In essence, the specifics don’t matter because each device varies, making it impossible to apply a universal guideline.

Yes, the timing begins when you press the power button and switch on the desktop.

Fast startup setting in BIOS aims to cut boot duration by about five seconds. This refers to the shutdown-to-start process in Windows, similar to hibernation.

Using standard parts usually doesn’t cause much variation, except with certain Intel processors like Celeron or Pentium.

Typically the variation stems mainly from the BIOS setup time before the operating system loads, which varies based on the BIOS version, internal parts, and activated options. For instance, on my Z390 board if I need to support LAN wake-up I must turn on PXE boot as well, which also displays the NIC's boot screen, adding around five seconds to the BIOS duration. On my Rampage V board with many non-integrated parts and RAID active, it passes through three boot screens and reaches over 30 seconds of BIOS time. Laptops generally don’t have these advanced settings, so they usually require less time for such processes.
