1. A charging apparatus for a computing device, the charging apparatus comprising: a device receiving tray that receives a computing device;a sliding tray that is disposed underneath the device receiving tray, the sliding tray configured to slide along underneath the device receiving tray, the sliding tray comprising: a charging interface that receives power from a power source;a charging circuit that receives power and provides an electrical charge to the computing device; anda grooved track;a stabilizer tray that is disposed underneath the sliding tray, the stabilizer tray also in sliding relationship with the sliding tray, the stabilizer tray further comprising a stabilizer; anda gear having teeth that cooperate with the grooved track such that when the gear is rotated, the teeth of the gear translate the sliding tray backwards and forwards to retract or extend the sliding tray and the charging interface. 2. The charging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the charging interface comprises electrical prongs or a universal serial bus (USB) connector. 3. The charging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the stabilizer is a plate that is hingedly associated with a stabilizer bar of the stabilizer tray. 4. The charging apparatus according to claim 3, wherein the stabilizer is a plate that can selectively slide along the stabilizer bar between a locked position and an unlocked position. 5. The charging apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the stabilizer comprises a peg on an edge of the plate that engages with an aperture in a sidewall of the stabilizer tray to lock the plate in an extended configuration when the plate is slid into the locked position. 6. The charging apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the stabilizer tray is hingedly coupled with the sliding tray. 7. The charging apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a means for coupling the computing device to the charging circuit. 8. The charging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the charging interface comprises either an alternating current (AC) conductor or a direct current (DC) conductor. 9. The charging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the gear extends through and below an underside of the stabilizer tray. 10. The charging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein rotation of the gear in a first direction causes the sliding tray to translate forwardly to extend the charging interface into a deployed position. 11. The charging apparatus according to claim 10, wherein rotation of the gear in a second direction causes the sliding tray to translate backwardly to retract the charging interface into a stored position. 12. A charging apparatus for a computing device, the charging apparatus comprising: a sliding tray comprising: a charging interface that receives power from a power source;a charging circuit that receives power and provides an electrical charge to a computing device associated with the charging apparatus; anda grooved track;a stabilizer tray that is disposed underneath the sliding tray, the stabilizer tray also in sliding relationship with the sliding tray, the stabilizer tray further comprising a stabilizer that is a plate hingedly associated with a stabilizer bar of the stabilizer tray, the plate configured to selectively slide along the stabilizer bar between a locked position and an unlocked position; anda gear having teeth that cooperate with the grooved track such that when the gear is rotated, the teeth of the gear translate the sliding tray backwards and forwards to retract or extend the sliding tray and the charging interface. 13. The charging apparatus according to claim 12, further comprising a device receiving tray disposed above the sliding tray, wherein the device receiving tray receives and retains the computing device. 14. The charging apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the charging interface comprises electrical prongs or a universal serial bus (USB) connector. 15. The charging apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the stabilizer comprises a peg on an edge of the plate that engages with an aperture in a sidewall of the stabilizer tray to lock the plate in an extended configuration when the plate is slid into the locked position. 16. An assembly, comprising: a first tray that receives and retains a computing device;a second tray disposed below the first tray, the second tray comprising a charging interface that charges the computing device when engaged with a power source, the second tray configured to translate between an extended position and a retracted position by operation of a track and gear assembly associated with the second tray; anda third tray disposed below the second tray, the third tray comprising a deployable stabilizer that is a plate hingedly associated with a stabilizer bar of the third tray, the plate configured to selectively slide along the stabilizer bar between a locked position and an unlocked position. 17. The assembly according to claim 16, wherein the charging interface comprises electrical prongs or a universal serial bus (USB) connector. 18. The assembly according to claim 16, further comprising a means for coupling the computing device to the power source. 19. The assembly according to claim 16, wherein a gear of the track and gear assembly extends through and below an underside of the third tray. 20. The assembly according to claim 16, wherein the third tray is hingedly coupled with the second tray.
