My experience has been that the more high-end my computer is, the slower it starts. At least for the BIOS, Windows has loaded very quickly since SSDs (Got my first one around 12 years ago).
Fancy motherboards, memory training, it’s a bit sad that a 10 year old budget laptop can get to Windows quicker. Even though I don’t really care about the extra seconds of course.
Hell, my new work laptop is a ThinkPad and Lenovo had issues with their BIOS for the entire year. Startup can take over a minute for that crap, despite being a $3000 machine.

Afaik you can turn off memory after every boot.
Laptops tend to have a minimized/limited uefi implementation that initializes and boot the bootloader faster.
