While we're trading anecdata, mine takes at least 10 seconds, and
often appears to run twice for absolutely no good reason.
Get any Windows 8 certified HW and you'll get POST < 2s, because that's
required for the logo certification. In real life you even get much
better than that. For example Samsung Ultrabooks (the infamous ones) are
much faster and achieve ~500ms for POST.
