This high performance desktop battery backup features maximum protection in a versatile design. The fully featured APC Back-UPS RS can be placed on the floor, or on a shelf. Up to six battery backup outlets with automatic voltage regulation (AVR) enable you to work through even the most frequent brownouts and power sags, keeping 75/90/110 minutes of battery power for when you need it most. For printers and other devices that do not store or process information, up to three additional outlets provide surge protection. Both Ethernet 10/100BaseT and telephone dataline surge protection safeguards against surges entering via network connections. The PowerChute Personal Edition software features easy-to-use safe system shutdown with sophisticated power management.

Summary
Wouldn't you know it? Recent thunderstorms spun off from Alberto in the Gulf States area caused their damage to my systems again this year. Being at the end of the power line in an area is never a plus for a homeowner, as it causes more lightening surge...
Strength
Small narrow size, AVR, telephone and network protection, easy self testing or manual, etc.
