A review of the APC Back-UPS ES 700VA outlet has been posted over at Computeractive. 'The device has eight mains sockets on its top panel (it's sold in several countries, so make sure you buy one with British sockets). All eight of them are surge-protected so that if lightning strikes you should be safe. Only four of them are connected to the UPS part of the device, so only the four devices plugged into them will be protected if the external power goes out. Not just anything can be plugged into it - it's certified for around 400W of power, which is enough for a computer, monitor and a couple of peripherals.'
