Its so weird, something i noticed (or made up) is that at my workplaces, the topspec workstations are always taking ages to boot (counting the ram?). My 15 year old xeon win box boots in about 10sec. Maybe they dont have fastboot enabled idk…

My workplace installs a ton of background software on their PCs. God help you, if it's your first time logging into any PC there and it has to load everything in your account/profile for the first time.

They don't last more than a couple of years before they start becoming painfully slow, even after being reimaged.

Whereas my 10+ year old laptops and desktops are as fast as the day I bought or assembled them.
