Get serious, none of them have a working fingerprint reader.

I prefer my MacBook, but the Thinkpad whatever I bought to have Windows and Linux available for some software I need occasionally has a fingerprint reader that worked out of the box on Ubuntu.
Since when is using a fingerprint reader on laptops at all common? If that's a requirement for you then fair enough, but not having a fingerprint reader doesn't make a laptop so niche that one would be justified in saying "get serious".
Um.. all MacBooks have had a fingerprint reader for years. Without it, I would be typing passwords a lot more.
My Thinkpad's fingerprint reader worked out of the box.
My framework 13 fingerprint scanner worked immediately out of the box.
