It's not so much the computer being different but how windows power settings are set. For instance on my laptop, when it went to sleep it put the USB ports to sleep, but I was able to go into the advanced feature in windows power settings and change them to stay on as long as the computer is plugged in and now I have no problems leaving my kobo plugged into my laptop charging overnight. A lot of laptops, including my wifes' Toshiba, have usb ports that can be powered on with a button even when the laptop itself is shut off.
