Ok, the poll question is for laptops and desktop pre-built systems. It is not meant for home built pc's or particular part lists. I want to know how much of a difference a certain brand may have over another: assume same parts, just how they are configured and tested, quality control and so forth.
My question arises from my laptop being a ton faster than my fathers during hibernate and sleep even though his in theory should be equivalent or slightly faster.
both systems are running vista premium SP1 and i'm having a great experience and when I use his, well, i'm disappointed. His will take around 30 sec's to wake up while mine is on in less then 2 sec. As far as I can tell, they have the same settings in Vista.
My friend who is a computer engineer told me it is most likely because each manufacturer tweaks their own bios code. Any thoughts on this?
