If the computer has a standard USB 2.0 port then yes, it will take considerably longer that it would charging from a wall adapter. Just how much longer depends on the output capacity of the wall charger.

Wall charging is the fastest for me.

GNELSON · Answer

Typically the output from a USB on a computer is very low and it could take a very long time unless it is a powered USB with extra voltage. On USB 3.1/3.0 the power is typically higher so as to power things like hard drives so if it is a modern PC with a BLUE usb connector it will be slow but way faster then USB 2

Yes it takes longer, if you have a phone charger with a micro USB plug it will charge much quicker, if you have a rapid charger it will charge in less than 20 minutes!
