NEC LaVie Laptops Keep Their Eye On You

My dog can recognize my face, and so one might be tempted to think that NEC’s LaVie notebooks, with their "face pass" feature, is no big deal. But come on, this is a computer–recognizing your face using the 2 megapixel Webcam and using it as a password is a pretty robust feature. Otherwise, the specs are pretty typical: Core 2 Duo or Celeron, depending on model, 15.4 inch displays, and optional Blu-ray drive. Prices range from the low-end LaVie L at $1,300 to the LaVie C at over $2,500.
