On: Anyone else notice that Apple products take awhile to restart?

and even if they aren't ssd, that shouldn't cause them to take this long to restart, my macbook when I just restarted it 10 minutes ago took a good 10 minutes to boot up, and I don't even have that many programs installed on it

You can check if it has an SSD in System Information. If you don't then consider upgrading.

But if it's taking 10 minutes then it is likely installing system updates which it does when you restart.
