    Some time ago, Phoenix Technologies showed a demo of their quick boot BIOS running on a T400s. Since Lenovo generally uses Phoenix on its laptops, do we know if the new T410s/T410/etc have a quick boot BIOS installed?

    Based on that video, I calculate a 7 second boot time from finger swipe to the end of the BIOS loading (but only 3 seconds from start to finish for the BIOS screen itself) and a total boot-up time of exactly 33.6 seconds. Not bad...
