Power adapters are divided into plug-in power adapters and desktop power adapters. plug-in power adapters, also known as plug-in power adapters, can be simply explained as plug-in power adapters. plug-in power adapters are power adapters that can be directly plugged into a power board, while desktop power adapters are power adapters that need to be placed on the desktop. The difference between desktop power adapters and plug-in power adapters is that desktop power adapters require an AC cable to be connected to the mains.

The difference between plug-in and desktop power adapters is as follows:
1. Different usage scenarios
A plug-in power adapter is directly plugged into a socket and is typically used for small electrical devices such as smartphones, digital cameras, and small speakers. Due to the direct insertion of the plug into the socket, it can effectively reduce the use of connectors, reduce the burden of cables, have high safety, and is portable and convenient to carry.
Desktop power adapters are mostly used for large electrical equipment or devices that require relatively high power input, such as televisions, computers, speakers, etc. Desktop power adapters are usually more stable, secure, and have higher power than plug-in power adapters.
2. Differences in volume and power
The plug-in power adapter has a small size and relatively low power, generally between 5W-24W. Desktop power adapters generally have higher power, typically at 25W or above, and are larger in size, requiring use on a desktop.
3. Differences in prices
Due to the small size and relatively low power of the plug-in power adapter, the price is relatively cheap, usually around 10-50 yuan. Desktop power adapters have higher power, more functions, and a higher price, usually above 50-200 yuan.
Overall, plug-in power adapters are suitable for small electrical devices, while desktop power adapters are suitable for large electrical devices or devices that require higher power input. Consumers can choose a suitable power adapter based on their needs and actual situation.
