IBM launches biometric `ThinkPad'

NEW DELHI, NOV. 23. IBM India today announced the launch of notebook PC `ThinkPad' with enhanced data protection features. The `ThinkPad', equipped with an integrated fingerprint reader, offers an unmatched level of data protection through its new biometric capability and embedded security subsystem, an IBM release said.

"The first biometric `ThinkPad' combines a fingerprint reader with an embedded security subsystem, providing a layer of security that is built in, not bolted on," IBM India Brand Manager, Mobile Computing, Sanjeev Menon, said.

The new fingerprint reader captures more data than a traditional "picture'' capture window because it scans more of the fingertip's surface area, helping to prevent misidentification.
