3421 seconds. That’s how long it took my new laptop to render the de facto radiance benchmark scene. That’s good enough for 13th place on the list, not bad for a laptop marketed to college kiddies and soccer moms. My old laptop is 36% slower in this test, and cost me $700 more than my new one. Amazing.
