***Acer Introduces Fingerprint Recognition Notebook
Acer Sertek, a branch of Acer Group, has introduced a fingerprint
recognition system to provide high-end business security. The
notebook model's Acer TravelMate739TL has a 15-inch TFT-LCD
screen and a sensor pad that requires the user to press down
during boot-up for fingerprint verification. The computer can
only be operated if the system confirms the finger print match
with the users initial scan. Beside the sensor touch pad, the
TravelMate series also supports a three-tier password security
mechanism with optional wireless network equipment.
