My iPad barely charges when connected to my laptop, and I didn't bring the charger which came with it. (Actually it says "Not Charging" - but seems to be charging at a rate of about 2% per hour.) So I thought I'd pick one up today, but in the mall of computer places on Florida I was given a price of $650! That was for an Apple branded one. Apple is clear about the fact that not just any old USB charger will do. The Apple charger for iPads is rated at 12W.
So my questions are: Does anyone know if any 12W USB charger will work, or do I really need an Apple branded one? Is any place likely to let me try the charger in the store to verify that it is charging? Can anyone recommend a store?
Thanks, Bob
