I have an Acer E15 E5 laptop two usb3 ports and one usb2, and when I
plug a flashdrive into one of the USB3 (but not the other ports) it

What's with that?

I've never seen this mentioned in a spec. Is it about waking up the
laptop? (Will this be true on my desktop too?) I've heard of wake-up on
LAN and iirc wake-up on phone (???), but not wake-up on USB.


That's a port designed to charge cell phones etc. even when the laptop
is off or unplugged from AC.
