I've had one for about 6 months now, and it happily handles the PC and

unlike the APC ones, it doesn't shut down once you've removed all load,
meaning you can then unplug it, take it downstairs, and be the only
person in the street with lights and stereo, although admittedly
probably not for long.

None of my three APC SmartUPS units (three different models) shut down
off load. In fact you can turn them on 'off line' and do exactly that.

I've no experience with the consumer models, so perhaps this is the
norm. However, the ones we use at work (can't be bothered to wander
around and find the model numbers!) will not allow you to power up
anything once all load has been removed. Perhaps it's just those ones.
