Slow MacBook Pro [brand new]
It usually takes 50 seconds ~ 1 min to boot up and around 20-30 seconds or so to shutdown. The shutdown isnt that slow I guess, the startup is what worries me.
I just turned it on now and it took around 1:30 mins to startup and then it went all black. I thought it had shutdown automatically because of low battery but no, it was on, no lights blinking whatsoever or any sign of it being on, had to turn it off by pressing the power button for several seconds and then turned it on again.
I called Apple's tech support and the guy told me 'it didnt seem slow' to him, he told me that these were leopards' regular booting times.
I have some friends that have the same version of leopard (10.5.3) and their startup times are way shorter than mine, and their computers are not even new, they have less RAM and less everything.
I checked on System Preferences> Accounts> Login items or whatever and I have nothing, so I dont know whats causing this.
Is it really normal to take it 1~ mins to load leopard on a brand new MBP?
If it doesn't, what can I do? Any chance I could get a replacement or something?
I know 1 minute is not 'that much' but I paid a lot for this computer and I want it to be exactly what I expected, if its failing already its going to fail in the future when its no longer under warranty so, better get it working now.
[Btw: 2 GBs RAM, 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo]
