Gigabyte motherboards have no trouble charging iPads

After it has been revealed that not all USBs are blessed with enough power to charge the almighty iPad without having to turn it off, Gigabyte informed the general public that the company’s motherboards have no such problem.
The iPad, as you might know, can’t be charged by many existing USB hubs when it's active, and the same goes for certain computers. Apple advises users to charge their pet via the provided 10W adapter or via a high-power USB 2.0 port, otherwise they're forced to turn it off in order to charge it.
