Yeah, is this maybe a ThinkPad thing? My work ThinkPad is also on the higher end side, don't remember the exavy price, but was also above 3000€. And my 7 year old low class Asus gaming notebook (bought it for 1000€) without an SSD boots just as fast as the ThinkPad.
Lenovo messed up the BIOS and still hasn't fixed it properly yet. It's also random as hell, I had 2 minute BIOS boot times. Went to the options and saved without changing anything, suddenly it got down to 30s.
Total mess. A work colleague also had issues and Lenovo support told them to downgrade the BIOS to an older version. Didn't help. Next ticket they refused support because the laptop didn't have the newest version installed, lol.
