#178158 - laptop has a more-comprehensive port power management Responding to: ???'s previous message  | 
That sounds issue: power management (read: battery conservation) is a big concern for laptops, but (probably) no concern for a desktop.
 I've seen it mentioned a few times that some (presumably power-hungry) USB stuff will only work from a desktop or powered hub - and not from a laptop...  |
