At least in this video (warning, Windows Media file ahoy!) the boot time is smokin’. The videographer was kind enough to show OS X booting on both a Dell (am I the only one that shivers every time he thinks about OS X running on a Dell box?) and a Powerbook for a little unscientific benchmarking.
First off, a desktop machine is generally going to be faster than a laptop no matter the type of processor inside (an over simplification I know, but in general this rule works) and the Powerbook is most likely not running a clean install of OS X as the Dell machine is. All that being said, I am looking forward to the Intel Macs now more than ever.
I want one now, Uncle Steve!
