   I'd have to get out a stopwatch to time the reboot. My guess is under 10   
   seconds. I can live with that.

   It has a SSD. I only reboot to apply an update. First you watch screens   
   saying '2% complete' that warn you it may reboot several times. That goes   
   on forever. When you finally can log in you get 'Hi. Getting things ready   
   for you'. That's good for a couple of more minutes. I usually hit Restart   
   and go to lunch.
