Highlights
Quality
Having recently purchased this item, the build quality is good, the display is clear and functional.
Very happy with the unit and works reliably and efficiently.
Impressed with the apc ups, but far less so with the delivery on this occasion.

Apple uses native software for the ups management which is not as great as the windows software that apc supplies for windows
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I wish apc would create software for mac as well because the native mac management software is really poor and even when i set it up to shut down my mac after a few minutes during a power failure it just pops up a message saying im running on battery and need to shut down
