Dell UPS battery backup on sale
Dell

We’ve all been there before. The power surges or cuts, even if for a second, and everything shuts off. The problem is you were in the middle of a big project and you have no idea when your work was last saved. Now, it’s totally possible you lost time and effort. There is a way to combat this, and it’s called a UPS battery backup, or uninterruptible power supply. It’s not going to keep you playing or working for hours upon hours during a major outage, but it will definitely give you enough time to finish up, save, and shut everything down properly. You just need to plan ahead and have one set up before the next outage happens. While it’s no Dell XPS deal, today it’s offering a great price on a 600VA UPS battery backup. Normally $99, it’s down to $80, saving you $19. No, it’s not a huge discount, but that’s a heck of a price to keep the lights on when they shouldn’t be.

Why shop this Dell UPS battery backup deal?

A UPS battery backup, specifically this one, is designed to both give you more time to finish up what you’re doing, working off battery power preserved inside, and offer surge protection for major power events. Like a surge protector, this one offers up to $75,000 in equipment protection policies. But honestly, I would say that’s a bonus and that wouldn’t be the sole reason you’d pick up one of these.

This Dell 600VA floor or wall-mountable UPS has seven total outlets, five for battery backup and surge protection, and two for surge protection only. One USB port even allows smart charging for mobile or personal devices. Here’s the best part, you can also plug your router or modem into it to keep the network active during utility outages. Now, that’s not going to do you much good if the storm is responsible for knocking out the internet, but that kind of thing isn’t common. Imagine how that would have served me and my family during Milton’s recent chaos? We lost power for days and my kids were inconsolable without their electronics.

The battery is hot-swappable, as well, which means it’s user-replaceable provided you find a comparable option. That means this UPS system is great for long-term use.

Normally $99, it’s yours today through this deal for only $80, saving you $19. Even if not this particular UPS battery backup, trust me, grab one. It’s a small price to pay to reduce the headaches of losing your work and unexpected power events. A UPS also works with both desktop PCs and laptops.

Imagine walking into your local supermarket and finding the freezer aisle blowing hot air. That’s what happened at dozens of grocery stores across Europe last night, after hackers remotely cranked up the temperature of their fridges and freezers to a scorching 50°C (122°F).

Google’s next Googlebook could make your Android tablets feel outdated
Googlebooks are moving beyond traditional laptops, and the next one might look more like a tablet.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Googlebooks have only been around for a little over a month, but Google is already looking beyond traditional laptops. The company has confirmed that detachable Googlebooks are on the way, meaning we could soon see devices that work as both a tablet and a laptop without carrying two separate gadgets.

The announcement came during the Android Dev Summit 2026, where Google outlined its plans to expand the Googlebook lineup beyond the clamshell and convertible designs currently available. While the company hasn't revealed an official launch date or shown any hardware, an earlier leak suggests Lenovo could be the first manufacturer to bring one to market.

Meta is already working on its second-gen humanoid robot, but don’t expect it to land in homes anytime soon
Meta wants a robot to do your chores, but it still has to learn how to climb stairs
Fourier’s GR-3 humanoid robot, which the company unveiled in August 2025.

Meta appears to be getting serious about bringing artificial intelligence out of the screen and into the physical world. The company has built a humanoid robot prototype with Chinese robotics firm Fourier, and it is already developing a second-generation version. However, before anyone starts imagining a robot folding laundry or handling household chores, there is a fairly important caveat: this is still research and development, with no launch date in sight.

According to The Information, which cited people familiar with the project, Meta and Fourier built the prototype, internally called Max, in around three months. The roughly 48kg robot is part of Meta's broader ambition to develop humanoids that could eventually carry out everyday tasks in people's homes.
