[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1189038, member: 46727"] Unless the software supports shut down (re: Powerchute) then, no. It will not automatically turn off the Mac in the event of a power failure. APC has not updated their Powerchute for the Mac software in order to provide support for Snow Leopard. You can try it if you wish but according to forum posts, it eats CPU cycles. As far as the 750 VA rating on the unit, it should be enough to hold your Mac for a short while until you can shut it down manually. Personally for a desktop unit like the iMac 21.5" machine, I would opt for one that was rated 1000 VA or higher. That would give you more time on battery until shut down. [/QUOTE]
