If security is one of your top priorities, this fingerprint scanner hack, could be for you. If you can’t afford, or don’t want to buy another netbook but, want your files more secure than password protected, or encrypted and own the Dell Mini 9, you can add a fingerprint scanner to it yourself. This is exactly what MyDellMini forum member, Rich2871 did.

He took a USB fingerprint scanner and connected it to an internal USB adapter. While he was in there, he added 4 other internal USB ports as well as a 64GB SSD. After that, he carved a piece of plastic out on the case to make room for the fingerprint scanner.

Whoever said netbooks didn’t need biometric security? Of course they do. At least that’s what UPEK is trying to say. And so the company wants to equip your netbook/MID with their newest biometric security solutions (read: fingerprint scanners). Last time I checked, add-on fingerprint scanners on notebooks cost a fortune. UPEK didn’t reveal any pricing details about their producs, but if they fit the budget, then sure, why not get them, right?
