System 76 laptop has fingerprint sensor. They don't say it has one cuz it's not supported.

And since it's designed to be used as a tap/scan, and power button only on hard restart/shutdown it's hard to press to stop it being pressed on fingerprint scan, the hardware not being supported means you have to press the power button a lot instead of fingerprint.
