On a desk top, it connects power from the outlet on the wall to the power supply in the computer.
On a laptop. It converts the mains AC power at high voltage to a low voltage DC. Most laptops use around 19v DC.
This is then used to charge the battery in the laptop. When the battery is full, the laptop is then powered by the mains supply, leaving the battery in standby.
On a desk top the power supply is inside the cabinet. On a laptop it is separate. This saves weight and space when using the laptop totally portable and running on battery

By Khalid BetaniDirect current (DC) is the unidirectional flow of electric charge. Direct current is produced by sources such as batteries, thermocouples, solar cells, and commutator-type electric machines of the dynamo type.So the function of a DC Power Supply is to provide Direct current to various accessories of computer such as Hard Disk, Ram, Picture Tube or LCD, Mother Board, CD Rom/DVD Rom, etc, so that they function properly.
If it as a 20 or 24 pin connector and a 4 pin connector then it is a ATX power supply.
