AuthenTec’s fingerprint sensors are now a standard feature in the world’s first notebooks to offer one Terabyte (1 trillion bytes) of disk storage capacity, ASUS’ new M50 and M70 PCs. Instead of using a password to access ASPM, the user may simply swipe their finger across the AuthenTec fingerprint sensor to ensure secure yet convenient access to their laptop, its stored files and even entertainment web sites.

All AuthenTec fingerprint sensors are based on the Company’s patented TruePrint® technology which reads below the surface of the skin to the live layer where the true fingerprint resides. The Company’s sensors have been integrated into more than 17 million PCs and peripherals.
