A UPS is generally used to refer to a Uninterruptable Power Supply which is almost never found within a computer case.
A UPS consists of a battery, an inverter and switchover circuitry, so that when the mains fails, the battery will take over with the inverter supplying the high voltage. These are normally external units, wired into the supply to the desk top computer.
A laptop with a healthy battery, will run on it's own battery anyway if the charger power fails.
