Check out the software that drives this first!

You should check out the software that HP uses to drive it's fingerprint reader. My Toshiba notebook has a UPEK fingerprint scanner, which does save some time in entering usernames and passwords on Websites. Their Protector Suite password manager and ewallet software comes with the Toshiba as well. However, you still must set a password for each Website you visit, then the fingerprint scanner fills that in after you swipe your finger. The danger in using software generated passwords is that they are usually hard to remember and, therefore, if you are at another computer, such as work, and want to access your Amazon, Facebook, Gmail, or whatever, you're screwed. So, what I'm sayin is that this is good, but not THAT good. It is certainly not as simple as they make it sound! AND, if you do want to try before you buy, you can get an external scanner, and then try out different softwares before you put all of your money into a computer just because of this feature. I'm a little biased, but Toshiba has been making "laptop" computers a lot longer than HP. In fact, I do not know if HP even started out making its own laptops; I think they just acquired Compaq. I don't have anything against HP, well not much, I have an HP desktop that works great!
