It's kind of funny, but an M1 MacBook does. In fact it comes with a solid >12 hour UPS built-in.

I assume you are just talking about the battery, which I suppose is sorta a built-in UPS though I've never heard it referred to as such!

I’ve explicitly considered laptop batteries as UPS’s before in designing certain systems.

So does a data center. Neither one has a redundant PSU.

A MacBook can actually have multiple power supplies plugged in at once and will use the more powerful one. I bet having two of the same wattage would work fine. It also works with the new MacBook Pros with MagSafe.

In fact, if you plug the type-C end of MagSafe cable into the MacBook, it will "charge" itself. USB-PD is pretty great.

It's too bad the Mac mini can't be powered over USB-C though.
