So my question is actually very simple: Is it possible to calibrate a laptop monitor? I was once told that this was not possible. I was able to read one or the other on the Internet.
If it is relevant: I'm considering buying a Lenovo ideapad l340 with FHD display, ryzen 3200u processor, 512 GB SSD and 8GB RAM. Does anyone happen to know which display type is installed? I don't find anything about that…
It's super easy with Spider X.

A bargain. Only 130 euro
How many times and how many hours have you tried to calibrate any displays or monitors? There are almost 130 euro for free.
I calibrated mine with a simple Spyder 3 Express. The part did not cost me 30 euro. Colors are natural, contrasts etc. Are real. The only problem is that the picture is slightly different depending on the perspective. It's just a problem with the monitor… But as long as you look at it that's not a problem.
You should definitely calibrate. Depending on the monitor, you get more, sometimes less… But still better than not at all.
I could now find no indication whether this laptop has a TN or an IPS panel.
If you can take a look at it in a specialty store, try out whether the colors change for you from a slanted angle.
If you buy a TN panel that does not have a stable viewing angle, then no calibration will help, which is and remains unsuitable for image processing.
I found an indication of the color space: 45% color space

Calibrating can't change anything in the color space of the display. If a color can't be displayed, it stays that way after calibration. But maybe 45% is enough for your purposes?
