Pros

  • Slim design is an attractive alternative to standard box-shaped back ups
  • GreenPower UPS significantly reduces energy requirements compared to devices without this feature
  • LCD Display with real-time readings
  • External battery pack connector option to increase UPS Backup time.
  • Software with auto shutdown feature.
  • Alarm sound can be turns off
  • Weighs in at a bit over 11 Kg – less than most 1000VA UPS devices
  • 2 Years warranty

Cons

  • Not 100% silent. Fan produces a lot of noise during charging and discharging.
  • Difficult to configure Master Output Port with auto shutdown with zero load. Even after shutdown CPU draws some power for standby voltage.
  • Power switch is located quite deep and it's difficult pressing it specially when turning off the unit.

With my test system (i7-3770K at stock, Sabertooth board, 2x4GB Corsair value RAM, 240GB Corsair GS SSD, 1 TB and 2TB WD Green HDD, Asus HD7750, Asus Xonar DX sound card ) at ideal and according to the LCD front panel on the UPS, I'm at 16% load and can expect approximately 40 minutes of runtime. Pretty impressive, with a 600W maximum capacity the APC Back-UPS Pro 1000VA BR1000G-IN is an excellent choice for performance systems at a very good price.

APC Back-UPS Pro 1000VA is very simply the best UPS device I've ever tested. I have no reservations whatsoever about recommending it to anyone looking for a UPS for a performance computer system.

APC Back-UPS Pro 1000VA BR1000G-IN is an excellent choice for PC systems and worthy of our PC TeK REVIEWS Choice Award.
