Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I am shopping for a new UPS to provide backup power for my Mac mini. Will a pulse wave modulation (simulated sine wave) unit work or do I need to use the more expensive pure sine wave unit? Also, I'm planning to replace the mini with a more powerful iMac, will that UPS remain compatible?
Mac mini, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), 2.5 GHz i5 processor, 4GB memory
1. Either will do.
2. A correctly sized UPS for a Mini will not be powerful enough for an iMac, buy one big enough for the iMac from the start.
Useful?
Not to me thanks.
Also relatively simple explanation on iFixit:

Starting about a third of the way down under the headings 'Output waveform' and 'Get the best waveform you can afford'.
