Much better than critics say

The very negative reviews on Anthem seem to be a bit unfair - this game is much better than the panning it's getting from critics.

A fun take on post-apocalyptic worlds. Nice to go back to the same Far Cry 5 environment but in a crazy new perspective. If you liked FC5, you'll like New Dawn.

Bought this as a mobile keyboard for a tablet (a more hardy option to a flimsy keyboard cover) but turns out it works great for gaming consoles and smart phones as well, and with the selector switch, it can be used on all three with just the turn of a dial.

Overall
2 out of 5
2 out of 5Constant, high-pitch whine
By jrrone
This unit has a constant, high-pitched whine that never goes away even at full battery power, on or off battery, and only changes pitch slightly (but still audible) when the LCD screen is on. When unplugging the unit, the whine continues for a while, suggesting it's somehow related to the battery. For my use, it was under my desk and still very audible, so all the marketing materials showing it on top of a desk (which would presumably be closer to the user) and considering the overall high rating from many users, it makes me wonder if not all the units exhibit this whine (QC issue?) or if the frequency is not audible to everyone, or both. However, further reading and research shows plenty of other users have had this same issue, unfortunately. I have always, exclusively used APC UPS for the smaller units (900 VA and lower) and have been happy with the brand overall. This is the largest I've purchased, but I had to return it and go with a different brand. Just couldn't take the whining sound in general use, even with other white noise in the room. And didn't want to try a different one of the same model because of reading others' experiences with the whining.
If it wasn't for the whining sound, this unit is good. The LCD is bright and the unit seemed to function well for the 48 hours I used it. Socket locations in the back are fine, plenty of cord length, easy access to battery, front panel access for USB connections.
CONS:
-High-pitch whining sound that never stops
-High-pitch whining sound that never stops
PROS:
-Bright, functional LCD screen
-Number of sockets
-Easy battery access, user-replaceable
-Front panel access for USB and USB-C
-Cord length

Despite having good experiences overall with APC and definitely recommending the brand in general, I cannot recommend this particular unit because of that one, very annoying flaw.

Dear APCProductSupport,
Thanks for the response but I don't know if you realize that on the page you linked: (1) Your chat system is unavailable (button grayed out, says "Chat Unavailable"), despite saying it is on Mon-Fri from 8a-8 p EST, and (2) There are no email options for tech support, only a phone number to call which takes you to a message warning about a 30-minute+ hold time "due to heavy call volume" (which I suspect is always an issue) and directs you to use the online chat for faster service which, as I just noted, is unavailable. This is not very helpful.
