Any advice about which brands/makers are good ones, and which to avoid?

I don't have numbers recorded with the 5400 rpm HDD, but it was<br>
something like 1 minute and 30 seconds or more.<br>
<br>
This is a development laptop, so it probably had stuff like PostgreSQL<br>
and Apache installed, slowing down the startup somewhat.<br>
<br>
Now, on the X220, boot was 8-10 seconds until LightDM prompt. =A0This<br>
includes BIOS POST and GRUB time. =A0Unfortunately, GNOME login takes<br>
longer than boot (maybe 15-20 more seconds).<br>
<br>
And then I switched to Ubuntu GNOME, which uses GDM, which takes<br>
disappointingly much longer to show the login screen. =A0My guess is that<b=
r>
the entire login process takes the same 30 seconds.<br>
<br>
I just installed bootchart and rebooted: <a href=3D"http://i.imgur.com/F5CK=
