Are there any computers in the world that start up as soon as their button is turned on?

Most computers I have used have taken at least 3 minutes to get to the Windows logon area and then have taken 5 minutes to load up Windows fully after the password has been entered.



Think how much electricity this wastes. It also takes 3-5 minutes to shut down the average computer. Multiply this waste by the number of computer owners in the world and you have a massive wastage of electricity - something we're in short supply of any way.



I wonder how many tonnes of coal/fossil fuels have to be burned to power up/down all of the computers worldwide?

Nope computers have to go thru a logical start up and bring all sorts of little programs up in a specific order. Lots of little programs you don't even know about.



A computer is not a TV.

Yeah he's right. I have a Dell Dimention 5150 and that only takes 30 seconds to start up but thats before Privacy Centre starts up Report It


haha.. excellent quesiton.



i also think my computer takes way too much time to start up.



i dunno... perhaps a computer with a faster processor will start up faster?
My Motorola Phone (A780) is Linux powered and runs enough programs that I consider it to be a computer....PDA, GPS, Email, Web, etc...... does that qualify?
