Does this computer have a fingerprint reader? Is it as quiet as the X220?

Yes it does. FYI, I am very happy with this computer. It is extremely fast and is very durable. The only problems I have had are the touchpad is finicky and the wireless systems isn't great. Otherwise it is an amazing computer.

No it does not show fingerprints or watermarks. It also doesn't condensate.

If the ThinkPad X220 has an available Digital Display port, then yes, absolutely.

Yes. With the "armor" on you do not have fingerprint reader. But the rubber bit covering the home button can be flapped off of it fairly easily.

FWIW, at a Best Buy in another city, their ASUS notebooks had two finger scrolling working properly and the icons showing in the tray area. Must be something in the setup wrong at the store near me. I finally opted for the Gateway EC5801u which is also a thin, light, longlife model like these ASUS machines. It uses a Synaptic touchpad with a spiral scrolling gesture that I've quickly come to like. Swirl your finger round and round in a circle and it scrolls like controlling an ipod.

Yes there is,you can log on as normal,finger print is just another option.(Update: after a software update this week,finger print is working just fine!

No. It has a "4" button key pad. #1, #2, #3, and #4 are in a vertical straight line. The biometric fingerprint reader is sensitive and the finger has to be in about the same position as it was when the reader was set up. It works, but you sometimes have to make several attempts.

Gary, very quiet. My wife has a HP slimline and it is quiet. Basically the small gateway footprint runs nice and quiet. Just remember not to block the air passage holes on top and side of unit. If you place your ear right next to the unit you can barely hear a small fan on both units. Gary, I am pleased with the unit. Now remember it is Win dows 8 which took a little getting used to. I do understand that Microsoft is going to make a free update to windows 8 to bring back the start button which I do miss. But the GATEWAY hardware is solid performer. Take care and hope you find what you are looking for. Thanks, Jaime Guerra Gary, very quiet. My wife has a HP slimline and it is quiet. Basically the small gateway footprint runs nice and quiet.

Mine doesn't. Have had the machine for at least a couple of months now and have been totally satisfied. Windows 8 was a little hard to get used to after XP but I can pretty much make it do what I need now.

No it does not.This is another feature besides the indicating lights that Dell skimped on.I have another laptop (HP) that has the indicating lights and a number keypad.

No, it only has an unkeyed trial version. It badly needed a new touchpad driver, but otherwise it's a great laptop.

Yes it does and it is sensitive. It only reads the one finger used. You can bypass it but you have to know how to get there and then know passwords.

The Security USB Biometric Fingerprint devise I bought from amazon.com is working well with my laptop. I am not familiar with other uses for it.

Logitech V220 is not totally silent. There is a slight 'click' sound when using the right or left mouse buttons, but it is not conspicuous. For me, the worst feature is the larger-sized USB receiver instead of having the small nano receiver that has become the norm.

The MV500 standard does not have a fingerprint reader. You'll want the biometric version for that. I think it lets you program a few different fingerprints.

Yes when on you see no finger prints but when you turn off you will see them. Do not hesitate to get. It is a great product. I had a bad experience with a cheaper version and got this one and love it.
