Comment on Is it more energy efficient to charge a phone/tablet using a desktop/laptop while your computer is being used vs using the charger?

It’ll depend on how efficient your phone charger is vs your PC PSU. Looking at some charts, it’s a very close battle but generally the phone charger seems to win out. Probably because it’s more optimized for its max power output, whereas the PSU needs to support a wider range of loads.
