My impression is that there is a large variability in the power different Dell, HP, WhatEver peecees deliver to their USB ports.

Some will charge, usually slowly, some may not.

Macs pretty uniformly provide enough power to charge reasonably quickly, but not, in general, as fast at the 10-watt power plug.
