i wonder how long it will take some company to realize that there is a demand for sub $400 dollar handheld umpcs for real-world applications. i would expect ASUS of all companies to respect the power of a low price tag! maybe later this year... one can always dream.
I just got a dell XPS that has one. I don't think I will buy another laptop without one. No more saved passwords on webpages, all done through the scanner. Very easy to use and great (with the right software)
I just disabled the finger printer feature on my x60. It's faster and more reliable to use the keyboard, and I prefer to remember my passwords than have something remember them for me. (Plus fast user switching doesn't work with the fingerprint feature enabled).
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Do people really like finger print scanners/

But they do make sense on keyboard-less devices.
I am using an x61t, and the fingerprint reader is invaluable when in tablet mode.
