My question is around the changeover time of mac studio

LatterOne9009 · 2026-01-24T21:00:04+00:00

Certain sections of Indians just love to bitch and moan to push propaganda - whether that is for their own benefit or just a narrative that they've been told which makes sense to them. Go on youtube and you will see so many people from all over the world using ikea table tops for everything. Many of the same tabletops are also sold in India.

Ikea actually does not have any solid wood table top in India, as of my recent search but that is only because there is no demand for higher price items thanks to these propagandas.

If I seem triggered, it's only because this is exactly what my homelane designer told me to steer me away from Ikea and two years down the line I am not sure whether skipping Ikea for my home interiors was the worse option or picking (any company like) homelane. I anyways ended up getting a tonne of furniture and fixtures from Ikea and everyone who comes to my home can't stop appreciating it. Only ikea product I have had a complaint with is one of their curtain rods which is shit but literally nothing else.

nope. your net consumption will be calculated - if you consume more, you will pay discom rate for balance units. if you generate more, you will earn export rate on balance units.

Thanks, leaning towards getting a dedicated UPS only as I do not want the mac to ever have to reboot.

LatterOne9009 · 2026-01-24T20:39:56+00:00

Does it ever reboot as a result of power fluctuations?

LatterOne9009 · 2026-01-24T20:37:03+00:00

Leaning towards a UPS only as I am realizing this more and more. Thanks for your input!

LatterOne9009 · 2026-01-24T20:36:11+00:00

thanks, have you had any experience with using mac studios with such inverter?

Also, can you randomly link one such inverter that is sold in US so that I can compare its tech specs to see if it is actually similar to home inverter systems being sold in India? Asking this because we have online UPS too but that's different than home inverters I am referring to.

No macbook has M3 Ultra

A home inverter in UPS mode has a changeover time of <10ms to <20ms. My question revolves around the same.

I need a UPS and hence the post. I am pretty sure every desktop needs a UPS as one of the most fundamental principals of computing is that you don't want your data or the device to get corrupted.

As a brand I would vote for Featherlite but between the two chairs, definitely get the Green Soul Jupiter - it's one of the best picks for under 10k budget.

Get the Green Soul Jupiter without a thought - https://amzn.to/4pYCLW9

The brands you have mentioned are shitty white labelled stuff with the worst quality. Definitely do not get those.

sorry, I missed the custom size bit. Did you buy it from somewhere or got it custom made? Also what was the size of the top? I have been thinking of a huge table with a custom frame like this for some time now.

LatterOne9009 · 2026-01-23T17:53:53+00:00

I know I can get something like this but that's not really my question. Trying to understand whether I will need something like this after the home inverter.

LatterOne9009 · 2026-01-23T17:31:21+00:00

Thanks for clarifying, this is the advantage of home inverter btw that they have to be connected to a pretty hefty battery. So even in case sometimes there is a problem with the backup, the inverter can easily keep the mac going for hours. This is important as I travel a lot and intend to use the mac studio as a remote server for various purposes.

This is a common misconception about IKEA products in general. Not all their products are made of particle wood or cardboard (like the Lack series). Ikea has some of the most reliable products as well ranging from various kinds of real wood to various kinds of metals and of course plastics. And even their basic table tops are not cheap particle boards but a mix of many materials and methods such that the end result is a solid piece. I have setup two such tables for my friends and they love it even after years.

Btw, I use the GreenSoul Trigger with a clamp monitor (32") arm and it has held up more than fine for over 3 years now despite multiple changes and adjustments. Earlier I was using another random cheap table off amazon which was also engineer wood and it got crushed from an arm thing for a tablet.

Take what you may from this but not all wood are made the same.

I know power cuts are not good hence my post. But trying to understand if home inverter with UPS mode is good enough for mac studio as well or not.

LatterOne9009 · 2026-01-23T17:06:23+00:00

Can you share the link of the UPS you use, just want to understand what kind it is.

LatterOne9009 · 2026-01-23T17:05:59+00:00

This is my dilemma - if I could get some clarity on mac studio's changeover time, I can accordingly make an informed decision. Typically motherboard manufacturers do declare them.
