People around here complain that they aren't ready for the next
power
failure. Pick one most suited to your power problems.

My need for a computer UPS went away when I switched from desktops to
laptops. I still use an external keyboard on the pull-out tray and a
large second monitor on the shelf. Spare batteries for the common
Dells are cheaper than UPS replacement batteries.

Laptops usually consume much less power than desktops and so last
longer on batteries. Mine also run off a square-pulse UPS output
though apparently not all brands will.

I trimmed out the political groups.
