Lenovo to boost biometrics
Lenovo takes biometric security very seriously. The, formerly known as IBM Thinkcentre, company launched a complete swipe sensor based product line to biometrically secure their Thinkpad notebooks and desktops.
The cheapest notebook with embedded biometric swipe sells for $1499. The stand alone hardware (keyboard and USB fingerprint reader) sell for $99 resp. $49. Lenovo throws in a security software bundle that enables you to logon biometrically and make use of the biometric password manager as well as the file encryption.
