Laptop Fingerprint Security!!??

gilad50303 · 08-01-2006, 02:24 AM

Is there such a thing for laptops? If so, which one? This would be a great idea since laptops can be easily stolen and the data looked at.

yeah ive seen them for like 30$. the ones ive seen are hooked up via usb.

It's best to just not keep the data you're afraid of loosing on the laptop. That way, there's no way they could get access to it if it's not there, and also you wouldn't loose it, should the laptop get lost or stolen...

LOL if it's USB can't they just pull them out? Can you guys show me one, because I think I need 1.

**The_Other_One** · 08-01-2006, 03:07 AM

Um...don't you think it'd be a little more advanced then that...like maybe the laptop wouldn't work unless it was plugged in and successfully read your finger print

I hope so man

. I need examples though, to see. Any reccomendations guys?

The circled object is a fingerprint reader, notice it is built into the case. That laptop is a Toshiba Tecra A8-EZ8311.

yeah thats what i meant. the laptop would not function without the fingerprint reader, because you need to log in.

I understand now, can one of you guys show me a good one please? Thanks.

Edit: For a USB one

the sony vaio sz models have the same finger print reader installed in them as the toshiba shown above....except sony has it in middle of the touch pad. You can research the sz at sonystyle.com or any electonics store...best buy, circuit city, etc.

the sz has a 13.3" screen, core due (1.83GHz), 100Gb HD and 1 GB Ram and also a very nice graphics card.....the only downside is its price, which is close to $2000 although you could find it cheaper at maybe about $1800 or so.

good luck
