5.0 out of 5 stars
The Ulitmate in Power Protection, December 5, 1999
This review is from: APC BK500M Back-UPS 500 (Electronics)
I don't want to rave on and on about the product. I will just give you the stats. I live in a rural area and have owned and APC 300 UPS for my 300Mhz P-2 with a 17 inch monitor for 1 1/2 years and had 6 total power outages and at least 15 power surges. I did not even see the monitor ficker! The Apc UPS kept my computer up and running so I could close apps, & get off the net before I shut down the computer like I would normally. I also had lightning hit my transformer while on the computer and the Apc Ups did not skip a beat. I am still using the same one today and I bought an Apc UPS 400 for my second computer(AMD K6-2 450, 15 inch monitor). I highly recommend a UPS for any computer. It is a small investment considering the over-all cost of the computer and data. I know this is not about the 500 model, but the only difference is that the 500 model will allow you to stay on your computer a few minutes more before shutting down than the ones I listed.
