00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:13,920
welcome to the smartest thing that I had never heard of um actually here this is

2
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:22,320
this is awesome because I happen to have a prop right here every motherboard manufacturer

3
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:25,160
wants to talk about uh where is

4
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:28,960
it oh look at that I picked the one motherboard box that happens to not have

5
00:00:27,279 --> 00:00:31,759
it on it but either way every motherboard manufacturer wants to talk

6
00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:35,879
about how they've got special high-powered USB ports that will allow

7
00:00:33,879 --> 00:00:40,680
you to charge your iPad or tablet or other high powerered device through your

8
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:46,559
front USB but I came across a tool from ASUS that is compatible with all

9
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:51,719
motherboards and PCs including notebooks called AI charge now this is not the

10
00:00:49,039 --> 00:00:57,239
same as onoff charge which allows you to charge devices using um certain USB

11
00:00:54,920 --> 00:01:02,960
ports uh usually it's one internal pin header um even when this PC is powered

12
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:05,199
down but this one does work oh it says

13
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:10,680
available to charge on any mode but it depends on blah blah blah Estates and

14
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:14,799
yeah okay anyway this one has nothing to do with

15
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:21,119
what kind of USB port nothing to do with what kind of motherboard or even what kind of system you have all you have to

16
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:24,280
do is install the app which is very very

17
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:25,840
lightweight and takes about a second to

18
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:30,479
install then um just for the sake of

19
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:34,479
illustration I'm using an MSI Motherboard here guys so this is a big

20
00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:38,320
bang X power x58 motherboard this is before anyone started really

21
00:01:35,759 --> 00:01:43,880
implementing these onoff charge features and uh High powerered USB ports for

22
00:01:40,799 --> 00:01:45,320
charging tablets uh so I thought that it

23
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:51,079
was hopeless and that I couldn't charge my tablet on my PC but it turns out that

24
00:01:49,119 --> 00:01:56,719
I can and I'll show you guys where to get it as well as see so there it goes

25
00:01:55,119 --> 00:02:00,799
it is charging it doesn't charge particularly fast because this isn't a

26
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:04,399
high powerered USB or anything like that but it does charge which is all I really

27
00:02:02,439 --> 00:02:10,879
asked for so that I don't have to set up one of the wall warts and all you do is

28
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:14,200
go to event. ASUS.com mv2010 aore

29
00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:16,560
charger and download it and it uses up

30
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:21,959
let's see how much RAM does AI charger use AI charger oh it uses a whole 1.7

31
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:26,200
Megs of RAM so you should be okay on that front and there is zero

32
00:02:23,879 --> 00:02:31,080
configuration in fact it just sits here in the task bar if you want to move a

33
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:35,239
little bit closer it just sits here in the uh in the system tray rather not the

34
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:39,840
taskbar you can't even click on it or open it or anything like that and just

35
00:02:37,640 --> 00:02:42,640
allows you to charge higher power devices when you plug them in so thank

36
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:46,440
you for checking out this little Linus Tech tip on how to charge your tablet

37
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:50,239
whether it's an iPad or whether it's an Android device off of any computer you

38
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:54,560
want just using this simple little app and like huge thanks to ASUS for not

39
00:02:52,959 --> 00:02:59,519
artificially locking this down to their own products that is like major points

40
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,879
in my book and uh I I hope you guys see
