It is simply not true that you need an inverter generator to run a personal computer. In fact, a cheap inverter might put out dirtier power than a good conventional generator.
The main advantage of an inverter generator is noise. You and your neighbors will appreciate to low noise level of an inverter generator, and it's really the only kind you should use in town. The second advantage is fuel consumption. But both of those advantages disappear the more power you draw from the generator. A 6500 watt inverter will be about as loud and use about the same amount of fuel as a 6500 watt if they're both putting out 5000 watts. But most of the time you won't be running your generator near capacity and the inverter will be quieter and more economical.
Short answer: Get an inverter if noise bothers you or you have nearby neighbors. Otherwise, a conventional generator will be fine.
If you can't afford a power-related computer failure, get an uninterruptible power source. It will protect your computer all the time, not just when it's on the generator. Frankly, the odds are much greater that your PC will be zapped by grid power than by your generator.
