Same numbers here on my macbook pro. Another important stat is that when our laptops wake up, we re-establish wifi connections in ~100 ms, compared to the average of 10 seconds on PCs.
Asking for a citation is fair but he did say average and most folks on HN do not use average computers. My guess is that you have an above average machine.
Maybe, but apple only make 'premium' laptops (especially since killing the macbook), not comparable to an 'average' (read: a few years old, fairly budget) laptop.
Got a citation for that? My PC seems to connect instantly.
