Startup times reported were from my newest toy. Windows 10 Pro on a i7-8650U vPro quad core 1.9GHz (4.2GHz turbo boost), 32GB DDR4 RAM, 2 TB of NVMe storage. CrystalDiskMark reports ~3500MB/s read/2300MB/s write with ATTO giving much the same results.

Definitely a bit faster than the average machine and a great system for running VMWare Workstation Pro. The only annoyance is that with 5 VMs open, the fan sounds like it is getting ready for takeoff.
