UPS for laptop

[TheSloth]

the problem is i am only gaming on my laptop for past few days so my laptop battery is not discharging as I plug in mains before playing. So i decided to game on mains after removing the battery, but there is lot of power cut in my college hostel which lead me to think of buying an UPS. Now i checked the APC UPS 600VA price on 'theitdepot' and it was 2345INR. its little costly. My budget is 1.5k. And if no good UPS in this budget then i have wait for atleast one month to extend budget to 2k. SO guys i want suggestion to buy UPS for my Samsung NP550P S01 laptop.

See if any iBall UPS'es are avilable..

Intex/Microtek UPS' are also ok, I own one intex 600VA and its decent enough. Choose APC when integrity is of prime importance.

I think he's trying to suggest that APC upses are a lot more reliable than the ones manufactured by other brands like Iball/Intex etc-therefore you should opt for a APC ups if you don't mind spending a little more.

 

[dashing.sujay]

^Yes, integrity meant there "data integrity plus stability".

thanks quicky008.@dashing.sujay: thanks. i googled 'data integrity' but didnt understand. i have doubt in that since my UG. DBMS always bounce over my headAnd could anyone tell me about diwali offers on APC UPS? I can wait till next month if i am getting discount.

^Data integrity can be simply understood as safe & "intact" data, in the way you want to it to be. Suppose you're working on something and suddenly light goes and PC turns off. After you turn on the PC you find that some files are missing/corrupt/whatever but not in the state you want. There comes failure of data integrity.

@ Op - consider getting Numeric 600VA UPS.

 

[TheSloth]

Numeric will cost me 1.5k, and APC 600VA will cost 2k. Or shall i wait diwali? Because if can save few bucks then i will buy DMC4 game.

First Choice APC - no arguing on this next comes Numeric as a cost saving decent UPS and don't you think saving up to get a game has nothing to do in a UPS purchase thread ?

 

[TheSloth]

Ok...I just said that cause that game I really want. If I could save money ... Is it wrang?

Seems like all other brands are equal. Few are saying Intex then few are saying numeric.Confused.

have a numeric ups for my PC bought in august 2008 still running strong, haven't even changed the battery.

 

[TheSloth]

Wokay then, I'll go with numeric. Thanks.
