Daniel,

I have a little macbook and I calibrate it and it works just fine for  
me.  The tricks are: getting the angle of the screen correct for  
viewing, trusting  your histograms and neutral balance tools and (for  
critical work) having a reference file on the screen and a hard copy  
of it next to the screen to refer to.

Leo
