One of our customers has a Lenovo with an i7 10th gen and 16gb of memory. Booting up takes about 5 minutes on an NVMe drive and using our application, based on Microsoft Access, takes literal years to save an entry.
I have an E495 with an SATA SSD, a cheap one at that, and it takes Arch (btw) about 5 seconds to get to SDDM login and about 7 seconds from login to usable Plasma desktop.
