And then you're looking at a VERY small picture. I mean in a pinch I will edit on my 13" laptop, which has a great 1080p screen with excellent color accuracy, but it's a nightmare because the picture itself is so small...
If you carry your laptop all the time, a 17" becomes a burden. I know two or three guys that went that route and all regretted. A nice, accurate 27" desktop is a much better way to go.

About 4k, for judging eye, feather and fur detail, nothing beats it. I look at my images at 100 and 200% when trying to select the best of the best. If there's a problem with an image, you'll see it with 4k. Still, I agree, 4k is much less important than color rendition and proper calibration for color, gamut and EV.
