Multiple fingerprints for one user account? (X220)

#1 Post by tmx » Mon Jun 13, 2011 2:27 pm

Hi, I plan to buy the X220 to use at home and work, but I want to make sure only a couple of my colleague at work can access to the laptop. Can more than one fingerprints can be detected to log in for a single user account or is it one fingerprint per account?

Edit: I tried the canceled my Amazon order of the X220i Core i3, but it was too late. I want to get the Core i5 version instead. But do anyone know specifically if there is better battery life with the weaker Core i3? If not by much, I rather would trade it for the i5 instead.

Theoretically 10 persons can access the same account, each using their fingerprint.
In the software you are able to set the fingerprint for each of your 10 fingers. If you instead of using your fingers, use the fingerprint of one finger from each of your colleagues in one of the 10 slots, then they should be able to access the same account. Though i don't know why you would use fingerprint, when you can easily just share the password for the account.

The i3 battery life is not any better for most usage scenarios. If you run Prime95 all the time, the i3 will be a little bit better - but in any realistic environment you will see no difference and maybe even slightly worse battery life.
