Final Recommendation

  • Best Value: Pair an HP Pavilion 15 with a Mercury Maverick 850. This gives you a high-performance laptop and a reliable buffer against power surges.

  • Premium Setup: If you choose the HP All-in-One Desktop, consider a Su-Kam Falcon system. Since desktops don't have internal batteries, the Su-Kam's zero-transfer time is vital to prevent data loss.
