This also seems to be the latest model/revision (2019?) compared to the 2016-2018 variant.
I seem to remember Amazon having a few negative reviews of these catching on fire but hopefully that's due to misuse.

Yes exactly. This is an "Uninterruptible power supply" or "UPS" so that's its whole purpose. It immediately starts powering your devices using its back up batteries whenever power is lost. The amount of time you'll be able to run off that power supply will depend on how many devices you plug into it and have running during an outage and how much power they each pull. This will keep a modem and router working for hours. A large TV could drain the power much faster.
The devices plugged into the battery + surge ports would remain on until the battery died, correct. The ones plugged into surge only outlets would shut off when the power went out.
Keep in mind that a computer drawing the rated wattage (1000w, though that would be a heck of a computer) would drain the battery in a few minutes. This would primarily be useful to allow the device to be shut down gracefully or to span a short gap (brown out).
This new model is still 1500VA, but is 1000w instead of 900w and has 6+6 instead of 5+5 outlets and an upgraded screen it appears.

Newegg had this on a Email Subscriber Flash sale a month or so ago for $148. Had to do something that morning and when I got back the deal had been sold out. I'm not making that same mistake this time. Purchased this right away.
I have the 850VA Cyberpower hooked up to my Router, ONT, and Wifi router. I intend on using this for my computer and it's monitors. This is the highest it goes without breaking the bank. For reference, look at the wattage to determine what you would need. It doesn't hurt to get a little extra watts as it gives you more battery time.
