Should an R400 have a fingerprint reader?

Because mine doesn't and I find that strange?

(and now I promise not to start more threads for a while, hehe!)

Thank you for the reply. That is also what I figured after looking a bit around the web...

I bought mine refurbished and it came with a fingerprint reader. I think it's an option like bluetooth capabilities. I use it and don't think about it much, overall it works well.

Fingerprint reader is an optional upgrade, like bluetooth, inbuilt camera, etc. Unless the laptop was ordered with the fingerprint reader from the factory, than no it won't have a fingerprint reader on it. But you can purchase a replacement palmrest with the fingerprint reader from places like ebay.
