Average Power Consumption Of Desktop Computer

Good power consumption without sacrificing the performance a much.

Great image quality and low power consumption

Small, low power consumption, but immensely capable when used with other compatible hardware.

Looks great with more than enough power for the average user.

I needed to install a SATA drive in a desktop computer, but had not spare SATA power feeds, only molex. This did the job!

Bought one for desktop computer and one for my DirecTV box. Compact size with adequate power to do what I needed.

I just bought this less than a week ago and we just had a power outage the other night and it performed perfectly. I have a a desktop computer, monitor and inkjet printer connected to the battery backup side and I had plenty of time to shut everything down properly. It also caught the power surges that were coming before the power went completely out. It's also a lot lighter than the unit it replaced, so it's much easier to handle and position to where you need it. I will buy another one when I need to replace another unit.

Unlike most reviewers, I have years of experience with this model. The display has changed a bit over the years but it's still the same. My location has about weekly power interruptions from limbs striking power lines, and without these a Windows desktop could be wiped out. A laptop couldn't care less. The screen might get a bit dim over the years, and the reassuring 100 percent reading on the battery charge can't be trusted after about 5 years. The battery is super simple to change, and cheap. I recommend that at 5 years you test the capacity by plugging in something like a floor lamp and pulling the plug, to see how long it lasts. Don't even think about getting a UPS that doesn't have Sinewave' in the description, because it's cruel to your equipment. I'm reviewing this, the fourth one, which I just got for a granddaughter who is an architect and using a powerful computer I built her. The unit can only handle 600 watts but actual measurements of the computer's and monitor's power needs show that this will do the job. If you are in a thunderstorm or the lights are flickering, you should power down a desktop anyway.

Just what I needed to up the power of my new Dell desktop computer to do some heavy duty CPU work.

I bought this for my daughters desktop because her last one was damaged when the power went off several times which happens in our area. This has helped save the computer many times.
