Hi guys, I really need some ideas/suggestions regarding this issue.

I work from home, and since monsoon is starting there are gonna be power cuts here that usually last around 2–3 hours max. I need some way to keep my laptop + monitor running. For the router I think I’ll just get a mini router UPS.

My laptop is a Legion 5, and I think it draws around 40W when I’m working. Monitor is an LG Ultragear 24 inch, I think that also draws around 40W.

What are my options here?

Will a UPS give me 2–3 hours at least?

I could get an inverter, but when I asked around they all said I need to wire it directly to the main connection, which I can’t really do rn since I’m in a rented house and the owner keeps yapping saying he won’t allow it.

I thought of just running the devices directly from the inverter output using an extension board or something, but when I asked the Luminous team they said that’s not possible and it has to be wired no matter what.

So yeah, what are my options? What do you guys use for power backup while working from home?

I don’t want anything too heavy or expensive. Max budget is around ₹15k (around $160).

hey guy, quick help

tried extending warranty on my legion 5 (15ach6). support gave me a payment link ~15 days ago, i asked them to resend on april 20 but never got it.

now i have 2 days left, and the upgrade option is completely gone. support says they can’t upgrade it anymore.

earlier they told me i could even upgrade after expiry (with penalty), now they’re saying not possible at all??

anyone faced this or know what to do? they quoted ~₹7k (90 dollars ig) for 1 year, laptop is 3 years old.
