Professional Photographer Rob Galbraith undertook the task of figuring out which notebook has the best screen for others of his trade, and according to his research the Dell Mini 9 finished the rigorous testing with the highest marks.
He considered three notebooks when making this decision: Apple’s MacBook Pro, the Dell Mini 9 and Lenovo’s W700. His point of reference was an Eizo ColorEdge CE240W, due to its in-plane switching LCD panel and even screen brightness.
While Lenovo’s W700 did come up near the top of the list thanks to its built-in pantone calibrator, the Dell Mini 9 took the top spot. That’s right, a $300 notebook has a display with better “overall huge accuracy” than the $2000 MacBook Pro, which apparently sports a display that is “one or two steps below a good desktop.”
Check out his full evaluation here.
