Acceptable boot times for laptops?

I'm wondering what you consider to be a fast boot up time for a laptop.

I have an HP Pavilion ZT1130 here, with Windows XP Home, 256 MB RAM, and a 1.133 Mobile Celeron CPU. It's a base version of XP Home, no service packs, updates, or anything.

From pressing the power button to the end of the music on the desktop screen, it consistently boots up in 29 seconds. Is that good, average, or what else?

It'll be for sale on eBay in a day or so. Battery doesn't hold a charge (replacements are easily available on eBay), but other than that it's in pretty good shape. Under the eBay seller name rnk26.

    Sounds good to me as well ;) Dunno how fast mine comes up, but it ain't slow enough for me to bother using hibernation modes.
