Will there ever be a computer big enough to charge my iPad?

Just curious. I have a mid level gaming computer that can't charge my iPad. My friends beast of a computer can't seem to charge it either. Anyone able to geit their iPad to charge while plugged into their computer? I have the iPad with retina aw **** the iPad 4.

Ha!!! :)

... tried it again on another laptop and nope?!? what the frig?? my work laptop won't charge it but my MBP does and my personal dell... weird.

... you can also see this problem with older plugs as well! they updated the plugs/cords for newer iPads but if you have an older one it will display Not Charging as well... gotta love when everything is backwards compatible but not forward compatible!!!
