Does anyone have an educated guess on boot time for Ubuntu 12.04 with ssd and 2 GB of Ram?

I'm running FreeBSD with 2GB of ram, cold boot is about 45 seconds and warm boot is about 20 seconds.

This laptop use a 2.5 inch ssd drive. So you can install 80, 120, 240GB... Have a nice day.

Thanks a lot for your response Askal, I have a core i7 2.98 Ghz with 4 GB RAM I will get the unit.

it is around 12GB. It will have a recovery partition that consumes few GB. If you are an advanced user and don't care about it, you may be able to take that out, though not recommended. Rakesh #IntelTablets (I work for Intel).

Just ordered this laptop, give me a few days and I will let you know how Ubuntu 9.10 works on it.

I'm running Linux Mint and upgraded to an SSD disk, but can get 7-8 hours usually.

Windows 7/8 2.0 GHz CPU or faster 2 GB RAM 4.5 GB free hard drive space for minimal install, 20 GB recommended

This drive is compatible with all sata 3 and 2 motherboards. As for performance, I see increases in boot times and a few other most commonly used applications such as internet explorer and mail programs. Boot went from 3 minutes to about 50 seconds to log in screen. I have a lot of stuff loading so it takes a while after login before everything loads. Only 8 gig of ssd so you have to figure how big your programs are in memory. more than that, I would recommend a real SSD, but it costs for this kind of storage space.

Storage should be in the specs. Best to just check them out. Mine was 256gb solid state drive.

It should work. If your goal is a faster boot time, SATA connection is better and you save some money. Get a lager SSD since it is faster than the smaller ones, at least 250 GB. Good luck.

As a general PC it is fine. We are not using it for gaming. Boot up takes maybe 15 seconds.

The ram is soldered down so that amount you get is what you're stuck with. You can upgrade the hard drive and replace it with a solid state drive which makes the device faster, specifically the boot up time. I bought this laptop for my mom and replaced the hard drive with a Samsung 840 SSD with no issues. A SSD will also keep internal temperatures lower since the memory is flash (like your thumb drive/usb stick) vs. a hard drive which has moving parts.

If I remember correctly 2 gig of ram and a 250Gb Hd were stock. Min is upgraded to 8Gb of ram and an SSD for the system drive.

Brad I think as long as it is sata 2 or 3 you are good. Mine started as a vista I up to 7 it is so fast now for loading I love it.

I'e checked it can be formatted to be bootable. Ubuntu boots in less a minute. I think it was reformatted by me about 100 times for testing speed with different fs, I don't see any lost space.

Yes, but you essentially cannot use the SSD drive; it's merely there for faster boot up from what I've heard.
