Computer Taking Forever To Restart Windows 11

Great computer...much faster than my old one was. Had to upgrade for Windows 11.

The printer is not supported by my (1 month old) HP Windows 11 computer

Great for backing up files. It worked on a Windows 11 and Windows 10 computer.

Setup was fairly easy; although, the manual instructions did not match the actual steps on my Windows 11 computer.

This is the fastest, coolest (temperature), and versatile computer I have owned. I have owned various MacBook Pro's (Intel era), iMacs and MacPros (cheese grate), so I know a little about OSX computers. I use Parallels sometimes to run Windows 11 Pro, and this computer does not disappoint. I use CT scans for work, and can seamlessly use the same software at work (Intel PCs with Nvidia RTX cards) vs. my ARM version Windows 11 Pro in virtual machine simulation. Manipulation of these 3D renders is comparable in speed (even though the software explicitly states that it was not optimized to use ARM chips). Haven't found anything that really slows it down. The computer is mostly cool all the time. The fans barely quick up, if at all, so it is really quiet.  But most importantly, I use this computer day in and day out, and most of the time I can use it all day for three to four days before it is down to the 20-30% range where I start feeling anxious and then I plug it in. Charge up is super quick as well -- I think less than an hour to fully charge to 100% from a really low state of charge. So this is the first computer that I feel comfortable calling portable since I don't have to worry so much about finding a plug somewhere. For sure, a well built solid machine. The only cons I have to report is the weight -- I put a clam shell clear protector (which was not that heavy), but I feel that this laptop could be used as a weapon to defend myself if I had to (like the really old IBM mechanical keyboards if you are from my generation). Also, I think there is a small defect on the edge of my screen in the super thin black surround frame which is a purely cosmetic annoyance. I didn't bother to claim warranty on this since I figure it does not really affect the computer's functions. Overall, I would buy it again, although I probably would wait for the M4 that is coming out soon. Kudos to Apple again for creating such a nice piece of hardware.

Is this compatible with Windows 11? How is it different from the p50?

I highly recommend Windows 11 Pro.

I needed to replace a high-capacity $1500 commercial HP duplex scanner that was older tech, ran only under Windows 7 and was buggy. But when it worked, it was pretty fast which was the reason I tolerated it for so long. Since I use only MAC's, I having trouble justifying running Windows 7 thru Bootcamp just for this application. I decided to bite the bullet and I chose this scanner. It is not only faster but automatically figures out what it's scanning and is pretty accurate in its selection. It also removes blank pages and so far I haven't had any mis-feeds. The only problem I have encountered is sometimes the software and scanner un-links (wifi connect) and I have to restart the software and scanner to re-establish the linkup. I'm guessing it my poor wifi signal in my office (which I need to fix). This doesn't occur with a direct connection. The ScanSnap software is also far superior to PaperPort which I was using with the old system. When there was a glitch with PaperPort I'd often have to reboot the computer and restart the scanner to get it working again. So in summery I am very pleased with this scanner and the ScanSnap software and highly recommend it.

Blazing fast My windows 8.1 loads in 5 sec, restart is like 2 sec. If you are thinking about getting this item GO FOR IT. This is really fast.

Love how fast this thing is !! Taking me some time to get use to Apple Programs since I came from windows programs but just few days. It is amazing to me that I came from a Huge bulky tower to this slim book that can do way more than what I had and with more memory and storage than I will ever use ! LOVE IT
