Hello everyone! What are your typical boot times for a Dell Pro Max 16 Plus (MB16250)? Mine is frustratingly slow. Otherwise working great. The power up sequence looks like this: 0. sec: Simple Dell logo for ~9 sec after pushing the power button 9. sec: "Secured with Dell SafeBIOS" text also appears for ~19 sec 28. sec: Windows loading animation for ~23 sec 51. sec: Finally at the logon screen I have the latest BIOS that was set to defaults. The machine has 128 GB CAMM2, so that can probably add some extra boot time, but this much? I can see the ~19 sec "SafeBIOS" time is not unusual: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dell/comments/1sx9xtz/the_new_dell_pro_max_laptops_spend_18_seconds_in/

I like how this photo exactly shows what you described above. 😄 It is from the laptopmag test: https://www.laptopmag.com/reviews/hp-zbook-fury-16-g9-review-a-mobile-workstation-with-endless-horsepower They of course don't mention this...

Is it possible that the buttons and the chassis are different for the RGB and the white backlit keyboard variants? My assumption was that they just simple replacing the white LEDs with RGB ones. Can the glow be the same for the white backlit variant as well? By the way, I'm currently looking for a new mobile workstation and my two main candidates are the hp ZBook Fury G10 and the Lenovo Thinkpad P16 G2.
