The short answer
Pure sine wave output and 6 outlets are what the APC Back-UPS Pro BR1500MS2 (US plug) gives a mini PC owner who wants battery backup for the machine and its desk gear. It is a UPS of 1500 VA and 900 W, with USB management for connecting it to a computer.
Specifications
The figures are 1500 VA and 900 W. Watts is the number to check your gear against. With 6 outlets, you can plug in a mini PC, a monitor and a few small devices such as a router or an external drive, as long as the total draw stays in bounds.
The output is pure sine wave. USB management means you can connect the UPS to a computer over USB and manage it from there.

Which mini PCs it fits
A UPS has no slot or socket to match. What decides it is the load: everything you plug in has to stay within 900 W, and the US plug needs a US outlet.
Within that rule, it fits the GEEKOM A8 Max, the GMKtec EVO-X2, the HP Z2 Mini G1a and the Lenovo ThinkCentre M70q Gen 5. For each of them, the specifications of the machine and of the UPS match, so they work together.
Checked against every mini PC sold on amazon.com, from the specifications we hold for each machine.
