ISTR that when I bought my in-car USB charger I got one for phones and had
to take it back and get a higher rated one for Tablets. And even then, one
of my tabs reports that it isn't powerful enough to "charge" the device,
though experimentation shows that it does keep it operating for a bit
longer. Plugging my camera in and it doesn't even notice that there's a
charge there.

Do all those devices have a 'standard' USB 5v charger as supplied? None of
my laptops etc do.


I thought all laptops came with a charger, thing is they areblt 5V closer to 20V IIRC.


The wife's laptop/tablet charges from USB.
Its linx 1010 IIRC.


The linx is a tablet not a laptop, there's a differnce.
