Apc 1200va 780w Ups

11 Apr 2009 Surprising Horrible Performance From Well Known Brand I'm no power/electrical guru but this unit was simply horrible.

At 1200va/780w, it failed miserably to even handle a boot up of a Mac Pro (new Intel models). The Mac was the *only* unit drawing power from it (the cinema display was on a separate UPS).

Compared to a non-branded almost half-rated unit that I was "upgrading from", which didn't really have any issues with my Mac, this unit with double the specs matched up horribly.

It would shut down from a cold start of my Mac,... –SB SFfrom Amazon.com
10 Dec 2008 Beware of constant audible hum from charging circuit. I purchased one of these to replace my aged BR1000. I thought I would go up in capacity/runtime, and this unit is of identical form factor = no rearranging my desk. However the internals are different and this unit makes a very audible (not loud, but audible) hum from the charging circuit, whether on or off. I will be returning it and likely getting a battery for my BR1000, because the hum is going to drive me nuts. –M. Edwardsfrom Amazon.com
28 Aug 2008 APC that works... This APC covers all my electronics and gives me a secure back-up power. Arrived in a timely manner and functions as promised. –Tom Mckeonfrom Amazon.com
