do any laptop monitors calibrate well for printing? (1 Viewer)

I'm searching for a new computer with enough horsepower for Photoshop. I currently use an old Windows XP laptop and wasn't even considering a laptop for image editing but it seems some people do use them. Some laptops have 17" monitors; would that be the only size to consider? I've been looking at the new 20" Apple iMac's and thought that might be a good choice but a usable laptop would be handy for me in some situations. Would love to find out make and model and even specs if anyone is happy with their setup. Thanks!

I do know that 17" LCD monitors for desktop machines that have 1280 resolution make text and other components (dialog boxes, icons, etc) look really small. So, in a way I think you might be better off with a 15" laptop monitor that uses 1024 resolution. On the other hand, for just image manipulation, I suppose it doesn't matter too much what the text size is.
