Toshiba's Portege R200 and libretto U100 come equipped with fingerprint sensors

Toshiba's just released a couple of new laptops  equipped with AuthenTec's EntrePad 2501 fingerprint swipe sensor — perfect for the ultra-paranoid or not-so-mild-mannered
biology professors everywhere.  The system can be used to store multiple passwords for websites or applications, and can apparently also be used to scroll and quickly access applications. Plus the EntrePad reads fingerprints below the surface of the skin, to the live layer (ouch!), so things like dry, worn, calloused, dirty or oily skin won't lock you out. The U100 mini-notebook lists for $1,999, while the ultra-portable Portege R200 runs $2,099.
