CTU Hand Scanner

Chloe with the hand scanner (Season 8, Episode 2)


We always knew that CTU never had the highest security protocols (well, it has been taken over by terrorists on at least two occasions) and this season they are attempting to improve their security reputation by using a swanky hand scanner.

What CTU don't realise though is someone has sold them a dud. You see, the hand scanner is actually a disguised Wacom graphics tablet.







The version being used is the Wacom Intuos4 XL DTP Edition A3. It is the largest size of Wacom's pen tablets, and the buttons and dials at the bottom of the frame can be customised with your own shortcuts. Of course, this graphics tablet can not be used to capture hand scans - so it's no wonder Jack was able to get through the security doors!

Chloe's Laptop

Chloe and Jack searching the traffic cam feeds (Season 8, Episode 2)


When you are a world-class counter terrorist analyst you need a computer that is reliable, isn't prone to viruses, and has the option to be compatible with alien spacecraft (see Independence Day). You need a Mac.

At first glance, it appears that Chloe is using a MacBook Pro (complete with aluminium unibody enclosure and glowing Apple logo). However, if you look carefully you'll see that the words "Macbook" appear under the main screen and not "MacBook Pro". This reveals that Chloe is actually using the now discontinued 13" aluminium MacBook.



The slightly glossy finish on the top case tells me that Chloe's Mac is being protected by a Speck Unibody See Thru' Case. This a hard shell case that offers protection as well as easy access to the ports on the Macbook.


The 13" MacBook's are discontinued, but have been replaced by the 13" MacBook Pro.
