No surprises here. Just like the lockdown on iPhone screen and part replacements, Macbooks suffer from the same Apple's anti-repair and anti-consumer bullshit. Battery glued, ssd soldered in and can't even swap parts with other official parts. 6000$ laptop and you don't even own it.

This is false, it looks like you haven't read or understood my comment.

Sorry. You're right. I lied. It's impossible to buy color calibrated monitors. https://www.amazon.com/BenQ-PD2500Q-2560x1440-Monitor-Calibrated/dp/B0749RC47S/ And it's impossible to calibrate the color of any other monitors. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=color+calibration&crid=1DCVNFPWWTQR2&sprefix=color+calibrat%2Caps%2C132&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_14

Apple does have a monoply on color. Can't wait to get their VR headset so I can experience the true color of reality. You've really opened my eyes to the false color life I was living.

My god, if you're that clueless, just shut the fuck up.

The person is asking what laptops have "good screens" whatever that means, and you're offering an external monitor?

Do you understand what color-management is, and that calibration is means jack shit if the OS doesn't properly manage color?

"monopoly on color". Christ almighty, I'd be embarrassed to spew such nonsense, even anonymously.

Couldn't find a chart for this year, but here is one for 2020... https://www.notebookcheck.net/The-Best-Notebooks-with-the-Best-Displays.120541.0.html

Spoiler, MacBooks don't even make the top 10. As for my "apple doesn't have a monoply on color" comments. You're the one insinuating that it's impossible to get good color on any other platform, I just digested your meaning a bit. And yes, it is dumb, almost as dumb as asking why you are getting downvoted for repeating fanboi dribble based on Apple marketing department talking points.

Lmao. It seems like you're just ignoring the part you don't understand lol. As I said. A clueless parrot.
