Buy one. That’s the review. Just buy this UPS. This device will save your computer’s butt. I know from personal experience.

For years now, my family has used neoprene lunch bags from a company called Built. (As I recall, they used to be called BuiltNY.)

I live in the piedmont region of North Carolina. In exchange for our usually mild winters, we have hot, humid summers that are ripe for thunderstorms and even tornados.
