About $1500 - but I have one at home and one at work because it's nice to
be
able to ride out a 4 or 6 hour blackout (no screen on either machine)
I spent A$4000 on mine, but we can ride out the whole surgery for that time
(we have a secondary circuitry installed which is backed up by the UPS,
located outside the surgery in a weather resistant steel cabinet - all
computers, TFT screens and inkjet printers are connected to it)
Retrospectively, it was worth every cent - saved us countless hours of lost
productivity already

I'm confused.
Aren't petrol generators cheaper than a battery as big as a fridge??
How many kWh does one get for $4k?
Laptops are rather useful for riding out blackouts or power cord accidents.
