Mark,
I researched this extensively a year ago before buying a laptop
myself. My conclusion then was that no laptops with smaller than 17"
screen has any of the higher quality panel types. That also included
the offerings from Apple.

Anyway, things may have changed in the past year. From experience I
strongly recommend you find one with LED backlighting whatever you
do. LED has more even illumination towards the corners, does not
require warm-up before colour rendition is stable, and consumes less
power than do CCFL. However if you find you have to go with a CCFL
based screen because of other model specifications, make sure you
find one with at least two tubes to get decent brightness. The
recent Lenovos like W400 for example, have rather weak illumination.
Mark (and Jostein), things HAVE changed in the MacBook Pro lineup.
All of the current offerings use an IPS screen with LED backlighting.
I got a 15 incher at Chrstmas as a present for myself, and it's
gorgeous! You can get either a glossy screen or a matte screen ($50
upcharge) as you prefer.
Do yourself a favor and take a look at the Mac Book Pro before you
decide what to buy.
Regards, Jim
