Re: Off-Topic: use laptop only as USB power supply

[Paul Timmins <paul () telcodata us>]

I think the last dell business notebook I had my hands on has a bios 
setting that enables usb power when the laptop is off and plugged into 
the AC adapter.

It's not on by default.

If you have one, you may want to check.
