Everybody keeps talking of boot drives - and the guy in the video boots his laptop. Do you really boot often enough to make a difference?

I think I see my machine boot about 10 times when I reinstall Windows (used to be yearly 10 years ago, much less frequent now), then basically never, modulo city-wide power failures and stealthy Windows Update ninjas in the night.

Is it something peculiar to laptops, e.g. when you forget to charge them and they shutdown completely instead of sleeping?
