Let's say you're in a computer store looking at 10 laptops, you want to really compare the system's capabilities. What will be an efficient your fav language goes here script that will allow you to do this?As an example, when I go to the store I usually open a macbook and a pro's terminal and write an equation in python, iterate it a million or so times, and time them. I like to compare the difference in time. What would be an ideal and simple script that can efficiently compare systems?
What will be a good python script (or your favorite language goes here) to test a system's performance and capabilities?
