Amazon’s two days of deals have kicked off and Prime Day deals are a go. One of the things I’m looking for this year is a new universal power supply (UPS) and surge protector, and I might have found the one. This APC UPS has some gamer flair and is on sale for $200 (opens in new tab), down from its $250 list price.
Protect your investment
While marketed towards both PC and console gamers with ambient RGB lighting, it’s still a regular UPS surge protector when it comes to function. You’ll get 1,500VA / 900W capacity, six battery-powered outlets plus four others that are still surge-protected, protection for your LAN cables, and even co-ax protection because power surges don’t discriminate. As a bonus, there are also two USB Type-A ports and one USB C port.
On the technical side, this is a sine-wave battery backup with automatic voltage regulation and is fully compatible with the active PFC power supplies many gaming PCs use. It even has a user-replaceable battery.
A UPS is a good investment and is an integral part of a modern PC or entertainment setup. Whether you’re looking for the best PlayStation games or want to expand your smart home during Prime Day, don’t overlook clean power.
