SMPS: Switch Mode Power Supply - specifically refers to switch mode power supplies which are supposed to be more efficient by using a much higher frequency than mains on the primary winding of the transformer. Charger could refer to either a SMPS or a conventional transformer which operates at mains frequency. For charging batteries outside of the laptop, both will have extra circuitry.

Switched Mode Power Supplies, do not use Transformers to change the voltage. This makes them lighter and more efficient.
They chop up the rectified mains into small pulses and then charge a capacitor. This is all controlled precisely by electronics. Altering the pulse width can control the current demand and regulate the output voltage.
When they are off load (battery charged and computer off) they draw minimum current from the mains. As the load varies, a smps can cope with changing current and yet keep the voltage accurately within specification.
Laptop chargers use this process instead of a transformer. This keeps the weight and bulk down. A transformer capable of handling 4 to 6 amps at 20volts would be very heavy, bulky and more expensive.

Deferents between AT smps and ATX smps?
Basic difference between these are :- AT means "Advance Technology" while ATX is used for "Advance Technology Extended" SMPS. With respect to AT SMPS, ATX has an extra Plug of +12v Supply for Motherboard. It has four wires connected in square size plug. Two of them are Yellow and other two are black.

Difference between at and atx SMPS?
At smps have only 20 pin power connector atx have 20 + 4 pin power connectors atx smps 24 + 4 pin power connectors at (advanced technology)is old model smps atx (advanced technology extended) is new model
What is difference between SMPS And UPS?
The Main difference between a Switched Mode Power Supply and an Uninteruptable Power Supply is the function. SMPS are like a conditioner of electricity supply for a building, house, etc. UPS are the emergency backup power supply for vital computer based systems
Why you cant use smps in laptop?
SMPS [Switch Mode Power Supply ] also known as PSU [Power Supply Unit] is used in desktops to convert AC TO DC and to divide voltage to appropriate units to different components.... Since Laptops has a adapter [which does the job] which comes with the charger a seperate smps is not needed........ or Its included in the package..to be more clear yes laptops need smps

Why smps is called so?
It has the options to switch between 2 voltages .
Do Bluetooth headsets need chargers?
yes they do. when you purchase one they normally come with a charger called a trickle charger. the only difference between at charger and regular one is that they send out less electricity to the product.
What is difference between 550 mah and 900 mah in mobile phone charger?
The charger with the 900ma output will charge the battery faster than the charger with a 500ma output. The phone with the 900mah battery will last longer between charges than that of the 500mah battery.
