How to know if the laptop has USB power sharing function

With USB power sharing function, you can use the USB port for charging your handphone/smartphone and any others, without switch on the laptop.


Not all of laptops have this USB power sharing function. For the laptop that has this function, at default the function is still disable (generally).
