Summary: Despite its large size, the APC Back-UPS XS 1500 is an essential for any home office with connected electronics that would benefit from continuous power (such as a desktop computer (Mac or PC).
While the price may be a bit much when compared to a general surge protector, this unit provides uninterrupted power that can happen during a power fluctuation or a complete power outage.
I recall a few years ago experiencing a power outage that had the power going out, then on, then out, then on, etc. for approximately 10 minutes.
There was not enough time to do any work on my Mac.
When I switched to my Macbook during that event, the power to my modem and Airport made it impossible to access the Internet.
Don't fool yourself into believing that it would never happen to you.
This investment really is worth the price and the internal battery can be replaced.
Along with the product, you get a generous 3-year warranty (that includes the unit and the battery).
In addition, you get a working unit out of the box. For PC users, you need to download additional software from the APC website.
For Mac users, you already have the software built-in.
To access the UPS, just open System Preferences, Energy Saver -- a UPS tab will appear in the dialog box, so click that to access the features that you can configure.
Under Shutdown Options, you can configure your Mac when to perform a proper shut-down operation.
This unit should be compatible with every Mac out there -- from a tiny Mac Mini to a powerful Mac Pro -- you are covered.
Just be sure to connect the supplied USB cable into your Mac and you are all set.
I want to add that this unit runs very quiet and the display shows many interesting things about the voltage, the input and output wattage, the battery time, charge level, load capacity and so much more.
The power saving features are LCD and Surge-Only outlets.
Some of the outlets will power down when your Mac or PC goes into sleep, standby or shut-down (completely configurable) to conserve power and save you money on your monthly energy bill.
In conclusion, the APC Back-UPS XS 1500 makes a great investment for your home office and makes a great gift.
