Formerly codenamed Montevina, Intel Centrino 2 processor technology and Intel® Centrino® 2 with vPro™ Technology improve upon every facet of a laptop's main features, including performance and battery life via new processors and chipsets.

AuthenTec has the broadest portfolio of silicon-based fingerprint sensors on the market today. All AuthenTec sensors utilize the Company’s patented TruePrint® technology to deliver extremely accurate and reliable fingerprint imaging.

TruePrint reads below the surface of the skin to the live layer, where a person’s true fingerprint resides. This subsurface approach enables AuthenTec sensors to overcome common skin surface conditions to read virtually every fingerprint, every time.
