>> SmartLogon, which recognizes users’ facial features and logs them on without requiring any manual key input. That could be the worst idea I've heard all day. What's the relative success rate for logging into these things by holding up a picture of the owner? But, at least it could reduce the amount of torture inflicted by criminals and evil governments. There's no need to torture you for passwords if they can just kill you and shove you in front of the camera. Putting this on a system with disk encryption would be like putting a screen door on Fort Knox. |

They won't need to torture me. If they want my HotHardware login I'll squeal like a pig! |

I wonder which 4600 Series GPU they have, maybe the 4670? This is the first time I've seen a 4000 Series Mobility GPU in a laptop. Strangely on Wikipedia they list a Mobility 4850X2. I'd sure like to have a laptop with one! And for the facial recognition, thats a bad idea. Say you get a haircut, would it still be able to recognise you....I think probably not. |

It actualy works very good and is highly accurate. I used it on a new Lenovo U330 and it was flawless. You just had to center your face in the tracking box. |
