[QUOTE="krs, post: 1911411, member: 67742"] I just have the opposite experience than Lisa - I used to buy CyberPower UPSs because they were cheaper but then, after a few failures, switched to APC. APC's regular price tends to be more than CyberPower but the last one I bought on sale for less than $50 Cdn. at Staples. I use the UPS only for the MacMini - nobody in the family uses a UPC for their MacBooks. For just power outages it's not requires since the MacBook battery will power the Mac longer than a small UPC would and if power surges are an issue one could also use a high quality surge suppressor, but they are not that much less than a small UPS. How long of a power outage would you want to be able to handle? I just use the UPS (on the Mini) to save any on-going work and shut down the Mini gracefully if the outage is more than about 5 minutes [/QUOTE]
