Great product love the out turn off feature I no-longer need to turn off my printer , external hard drives, ect. The power surge does come with some kind of software and cable to turn detect when you computer has shut down and turn off the other outlets but I found it not necessary when I plugged my monitor into the master port, it even turns off the accessories when the monitor is in sleep mode. The battery backup works great and seamlessly and has already saved my computer one from a power outage. Also the battery is ready to go out of the box no charge time is needed to connect the cables and go. My only complaint came when I grounded my cable for my HDTV to the surge protecter, then my picture became grainy and fuzzy so unfortunately that feature is not for me, but that is defiantly not even problem compared to the good this does.
What's great about it: Auto accessory turn-off, battery backup
What's not so great: coaxial ground drains an excessive amount of bandwidth
