00:00:07.640 --> 00:00:13.920
welcome to the smartest thing that I had never heard of um actually here this is

00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:22.320
this is awesome because I happen to have a prop right here every motherboard manufacturer

00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:25.160
wants to talk about uh where is

00:00:22.320 --> 00:00:28.960
it oh look at that I picked the one motherboard box that happens to not have

00:00:27.279 --> 00:00:31.759
it on it but either way every motherboard manufacturer wants to talk

00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:35.879
about how they've got special high-powered USB ports that will allow

00:00:33.879 --> 00:00:40.680
you to charge your iPad or tablet or other high powerered device through your

00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:46.559
front USB but I came across a tool from ASUS that is compatible with all

00:00:43.920 --> 00:00:51.719
motherboards and PCs including notebooks called AI charge now this is not the

00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:57.239
same as onoff charge which allows you to charge devices using um certain USB

00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:02.960
ports uh usually it's one internal pin header um even when this PC is powered

00:00:59.600 --> 00:01:05.199
down but this one does work oh it says

00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:10.680
available to charge on any mode but it depends on blah blah blah Estates and

00:01:09.240 --> 00:01:14.799
yeah okay anyway this one has nothing to do with

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

00:01:17.920 --> 00:01:24.280
do is install the app which is very very

00:01:21.119 --> 00:01:25.840
lightweight and takes about a second to

00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:30.479
install then um just for the sake of

00:01:28.360 --> 00:01:34.479
illustration I'm using an MSI Motherboard here guys so this is a big

00:01:32.159 --> 00:01:38.320
bang X power x58 motherboard this is before anyone started really

00:01:35.759 --> 00:01:43.880
implementing these onoff charge features and uh High powerered USB ports for

00:01:40.799 --> 00:01:45.320
charging tablets uh so I thought that it

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

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

00:01:55.119 --> 00:02:00.799
it is charging it doesn't charge particularly fast because this isn't a

00:01:58.960 --> 00:02:04.399
high powerered USB or anything like that but it does charge which is all I really

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

00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:14.200
go to event. ASUS.com mv2010 aore

00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:16.560
charger and download it and it uses up

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

00:02:20.280 --> 00:02:26.200
Megs of RAM so you should be okay on that front and there is zero

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

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

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

00:02:37.640 --> 00:02:42.640
allows you to charge higher power devices when you plug them in so thank

00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:46.440
you for checking out this little Linus Tech tip on how to charge your tablet

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

00:02:48.720 --> 00:02:54.560
want just using this simple little app and like huge thanks to ASUS for not

00:02:52.959 --> 00:02:59.519
artificially locking this down to their own products that is like major points

00:02:56.480 --> 00:03:00.879
in my book and uh I I hope you guys see

00:02:59.519 --> 00:03:03.640
