Running notebook off 5V USB supply
 

I have an Acer Aspire S7 - is it possible to configure the USB port so that a male USB to male USB cable with one end connected to a 5V USB female will power the notebook?

How does it normally accept power? Check the manual for info.

My Asus T100 (not the liquid metal Terminator) only accepts its power
from an external micro USB PSU connector. Needs a 2.1A one too or the
thing loses charge if run whilst charging from a lesser unit.

The 19V PSU is rated for 65W, if you wanted to get that much power at 5V
port, it would require 13A, how thin would you like your USB lead?

Even with type C ports, that support higher voltages, the list of
laptops that support charging over USB is pretty short
latest macbook
google chromebook pixel
HP spectre X2
latest dell xps13
others?

You could charge at it 1A, it would only take thirteen times as long :)

Fair enough - when I go to Penzance on Monday I will have to take my mains charger on the train.

Presumably the sort of culture that grows in Petri dishes.
