    OK... So apparently it posted twice without actually containing anything... awesome. freaking lag.

    Anyway I recently bought a t420s for school. I am fully aware of potential issues with this unit however it was the only machine that suited my needs and I couldn't hold off on making a purchase any longer.

    I was wondering if there was a way to set up fingerprint reader based login for websites that i visit regurlarly. My mom and sister both have HP Dv6's with this feature and it is really convenient. Any way to set this up?
    Thanks in advance

    There should be fingerprint scanner governing software already installed.
    It should be called thinkvantage.

    Nah it's cool. I can't seem to find anything. I think I'm gonna try either HP's SimplePass program or Authentec's TrueSuite

    Out of curiosity, what potential issues are you referring to?

    There are reported issues with the screen and the fans being really loud and some other things, but I am extremely happy with it. I can't hear the fans, put them on turbo and still had to put my ear to it lol
