When I read about all the quality levels of lcd monitors with s-ips and
cheaper panels in terms of professional color accuracy with photographs, I
am now very curious about the quality of certain laptops sold as
profesional

For example, is the screen on an Apple Macbook Pro 17 inch with 1920x1200
resolution good for precise color editing?
