Hibernate mode is about 10 - 15 seconds start time. That's my fave.
5 seconds is REALLY REALLY good! have you installed any SOFTWARE on it yet though?
Which OS are you on?

 

[kayabusa]

Which OS are you on?

Linux

With a fast bootup speed of only 5 seconds, the ASUS Express Gate offers an optional Linux OS bootup that allows you to enjoy instant access to commonly used functions like accessing the Internet, VoIP, and Web emailing without entering the OS.
