Asus makes really good gaming laptops... and they aren't crazy overmarked like Alienwares are. I currently play the game on high laptop settings (on a 1080p external monitor) without issue. I bought this laptop in 2011, too.

Anyway, about the OP... I think the fingerprint scanner is cool, but like others have said, it's really not a common thing to find on laptops. I wouldn't be surprised if mobile authenticators start coming out with the functionality for eye scanning (the cameras will eventually be good enough and you can't fake an eyeball scan). That will be quite a few years away, though.
