Hi guys so I have read a couple of posts here but no one really goes in depth about this topic. I will be bringing my laptop down with me to MUA for January 2015 and I recently bought a $20 Belkin surge protector. I read on several posts that surge protectors do not guard against brown-outs (also checked on the manual which confirms this..). However some other posts say that a normal surge protector is fine if you are using a laptop even if it is plugged in during brown-outs. And then there are other people that are saying a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) is a must and will protect against everything, including brown-outs. To be honest I don't want to spend another 50+ dollars (especially since amazon.ca SUCKS a lot due to 1. limited choice 2. very few items qualify for prime shipping 3. they charge a LOT more vs amazon.com) on a UPS if it is not a necessity. So does anyone have any experience their electronics becoming damaged during brown-outs? Any suggestions/advice are welcome! Thanks all!
