My laptop takes around 15 minutes to boot, and 5 minutes to power down. It is an old model, and I use it heavily for software development.

Should I come to work early to make up for its power up/down time or should that be the company's responsibility - if they want me to work more or better should they provide better equipment? I already calculated and the time over a year easily pays for a new laptop.

EDIT - this is not a question of how to ask for new equipment. That is out of the question, they won't.
