Robin,
Make sure you get to know the characteristics of the screen. I've had many laptops over the years and for whatever reason they have had poor screens more often than not. My current small laptop has a hideous cyan cast that I don't seem to be able to correct. This means that when I check my shots I don't have to concern myself if they appear overly blue - it's the laptop not the shots.
Also familiarise yourself with RAW viewer if that is what you are using to view shots. I always find that images are so much sharper in Lightroom than the RAW viewer suggests. If you are going to install Lightroom then ignore this point (my laptop is a works one and "cough cough" software could get me sacked!!).
HTH,
Rob
