Slow. Not snail slow but very slow considering its a gaming laptop.
Brand new mine booted in about 8 seconds. Six weeks in and with some heavy software, it now takes about 30-40 seconds for complete boot.
7200 RPM, it's still slow Just buy a cheap SSD and you are all set.
Its a 5400rpm WD Blue ( WD10SPCX) drive
