not so much on a laptop they already have an uninteruptable power supply called a battery ... but yes .. a ups does help alot to protect electronics and keep things going without having to reset ... they are usually cheap for a smaller one and worth the extra protection they provide over a surge protector ..

Trying to build a UPS could be a challenge. You would need to be able to tie into the main power supply (house current) and put some sort of relay on it to instantly transfer power from you house current, 120 volts, to your battery, 12 volt or so, and that would also require a transformer, and then you would need a way to keep the battery charged all the time, plus have outlets for all your devices you want to ups. Along with a surge protector. Buy a UPS. I bought one, big enough for my computer and it works great. Power has gone off a couple of times, and the UPS instantly came on. Not a glitch. It supplies power to be able to shut my machine down, if I am working on it. It is not designed to keep power on for hours. Only to be able to save my work and then shut down until the house power comes back on. Here is what I got Cyberpower CP825LCD UPS - ... $78.85 (includes shpg) That means it can handle up to 825 watts, for half an hour. My machine total wattage is around 210 watts, so it will last over an hour if I need it. And it has 8 plug ins, 4 of which are UPS and all 8 are surge protected. Also has a telephone, ethernet and USB protection plugs. Smaller ones are even cheapers, a 550 watt for around 50 bucks.

Well laptops dont need one, because of the inbuilt battery. So you dont need one. But in case there is too much fluctuation you could go in for a good UPS which will stabilise the power for the laptop.
But if there are normal electrcity problems and little fluctuation as in INDIA. I wont recommend it for a laptop.

Laptops do have internal batteries, so UPS offers little on top of that. It would be a wonderful addition to a desktop nonetheless.

Yes, UPS can help you. But it will be nice if you have Power Inverter. It will help you from long power cut situations.
