I'd say your laptop screen is going to be the limiting factor here, not the spyder.
You should also check that your lappy isn't doing some kind of power-save thing that affects colours, my old Sony lappy does this and I have to remember to disable it in the Intel card settings after I format.
I think most lappy screens that I've come across have been pretty average TBH, my old Sony one is, in fact when I bought my new lappy at the end of last year I had to really search around for something with an excellent screen, and a premium price to boot.
Also the other monitors you're looking at your work on could be off, in my experience people like to set their monitors to be quite contrasty. We have a broadcast reference monitor at work and things always look a bit less contrasty on it that they do on the workstation monitors.
If you have a phone or tablet with a good screen I often find that a good way to check colour and contrast. An image on my Nexus 5 with screen at full brightness is pretty close to the same on my HP Z Display at work, just make sure the app you're viewing it in doesn't do any kind of "enhancement".
