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. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

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? |

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

It beggars belief, still, he prolly gives his local A&E a good chortle.
