Hate having to type in a password to sign into your PC? A feature in Windows 10 called Windows Hello lets you use biometric sensors to recognize your face or fingerprint, giving you enterprise-level security without having to remember a password.
Not all Windows 10 PCs are ready to work with Windows Hello, though, so here's a rundown of some of our favorites that do.
Since it's part of Windows 10, it only seems right to start with Microsoft's top-of-the-line two-in-one, the Surface Pro, which has an IR camera above its 12-inch, 2,736x1,824-pixel touch display for face recognition.
The software giant's newest Surface product is a pure clamshell laptop running on the streamlined Windows 10 S operating system. Its $1,000 starting price (£979 or AU$1,500 in the UK and Australia) includes an IR camera.
If you'd rather have a desktop, Microsoft's magnificent Surface Studio has an IR camera built in above its gorgeous display. Microsoft also has a desktop keyboard with a hidden fingerprint sensor if you don't want to buy a whole computer.
Dell recently updated its 13.3-inch ultraportable with eighth-gen Intel Core i-series processors that promise to deliver more than 40 percent better performance. But regardless of processor, you can get it with a fingerprint sensor.
For graphics pros or anyone just looking for a premium laptop with a 15.6-inch screen that's not a Mac, the XPS 15 has it all, including an optional fingerprint reader.
The Spin is Acer's line of ultrathin two-in-one PCs that are available with a fingerprint sensor built into the upper-left corner of their unusually wide touchpads.
This excellent little 2-in-1 for business gives you the option to sign in with either your finger or facial recognition: It has an IR camera and fingerprint sensor.
Alienware's 15-inch gaming system has an IR camera for unlocking it, and it also works with Tobii Aware software that will automatically adjust settings to save on battery life based on your presence.
Asus doesn't seem to be a fan of IR cameras in its laptops. However, many of its upcoming ZenBooks, including the all-new Flip 14 two-in-one, have fingerprint sensors with Windows Hello support.
