There's that, there's the portability, it uses less power, and for the average consumer who doesn't have a video game or computer hacking hobby, it's more than capable of performing the tasks most people are clamoring for at present, apparently a great many people have so little need to carry all that weighty hardware that they do their "computing" on cellular phones and tablets. I like desktops, and I like the idea of built-in battery power, but laptops are definitely all the rage. When I was living on my (former) farm, I couldn't get DSL or cable but a plain old 550VA UPS would keep my laptop, satellite and router running for a long time.

Of course, I am a big nerd and I would like to have a small datacenter in my home - filled to the brim with different kinds of hardware and software.

RICHCOMM_USB(8) 						    NUT Manual							   RICHCOMM_USB(8)

NAME

       richcomm_usb - Driver UPS equipment using Richcomm dry-contact to USB solution

NOTE

       This man page only documents the specific features of the richcomm_usb driver. For information about the core driver, see nutupsdrv(8).

SUPPORTED HARDWARE

       The Richcomm dry-contact to USB solution is a generic interface that is used to upgrade an existing (RS-232) contact closure UPS interface
       to USB. As such, all the limitations of the underlying contact closure interface apply. This means that you will only get the essentials in
       ups.status: OL, OB, and LB. See also genericups(8).

BUGS

       Most contact-closure UPSes will not power down the load if the line power is present. This can create a race when using slave upsmon(8)
       systems. See the upsmon(8) man page for more information.

       The solution to both of these problems is to upgrade to a smart protocol UPS of some kind that allows detection and proper load cycling on
       command.
