I have one and I've always used it, but it's large and bulky and as I get ready to pack up and move to a tiny room about 1000 miles from home, I'm really questioning what I need to take. It's for a laptop, too, so I wonder about the necessity of having battery backup for something that already has a battery and will hibernate and shut itself down if the battery runs out. Would I be able to get by with just a surge protector, or do I really gain something by using an UPS?
