This article discusses the potential implementation of Face ID on MacBook Pro and compares it to Windows Hello. It highlights the performance issues faced with Windows Hello and suggests that Apple could overcome them due to its tight integration of hardware and software.
Table of Contents I love my MacBook Pro, but the fact that it’s gone this long without Face ID still boggles the mind.

Although it’s possible for Windows laptops to have both a fingerprint reader and an IR camera, it’s become increasingly common for laptops to choose one or the other. In my experience, this is a detriment to the whole experience.
