 Welcome to a new segment about technology and computers around the world. This is obviously not something that we're going to be able to do all the time, but whenever we kind of travel somewhere, we'll try to pick up another episode. It's largely going to be about the consumer experience of living there and shopping for things within the country. This will obviously require different angles taken for different various countries. Like if we did one in Taiwan, it would be much different than this one, which was done in Switzerland. And I believe that is natural. So hopefully you guys find it interesting and without further ado, let's do it. TunnelBear is the easy to use VPN service that lets you use the web as if you're in 20 different countries.

Before I even came to Switzerland, it was echoed over and over and over again buy online when you're looking for computer components. That's all anybody said. A moderator on the forum, Alpen Wasser, happens to be from Switzerland. And he very specifically was like, yeah, nobody buys in stores. You just buy online here. And I went on forums, local forums to Switzerland, traveler forums for people that were visiting Switzerland and might need computer components. Everybody's saying buy online. OK, interesting. But I'm stubborn. So I want to try a store. So let's check it out. And what a store. It was huge. We went to Media Markt and this place was massive. At first, it seemed like they'd have everything you could have wanted. Peripherals out the butt. They had keyboards, mice, monitors, headphones, speakers, whatever the heck you wanted, and huge amounts of them on display ready to use, which is super cool. It's kind of a problem in North America, as far as I know, at least where I'm from. Like people will ask what cherry switch they should use, and they can't go try any of them or like, what's the comparison between, say, a Cherry Brown and a Roamer G? Well, at some place like Media Markt, you could actually try that. Super cool. You can also trial the mouse, headphones, whatever. It's awesome. Even their camera section had like really high end, nice cameras and studio lights, which is kind of cool to see in a consumer electronics store. But the computers themselves was a little bit of a letdown. There was kind of a semi small row of them tucked under some monitors forgotten in a back corner of the store and no components to speak of, which was a little rough. Also, the prices, at least compared to North America, was a little brutal, but that did seem to be a consistent theme throughout Switzerland. So I'm not sure if that's necessarily tied directly into only computer parts. Now, for buying online, Switzerland isn't actually part of the EU. So there's some import costs and problems there, but you're probably OK. There's a website called topprice.ch, which is actually freaking awesome. There's a huge amount of online computer parts stores in Switzerland somehow. And you can filter all of their prices through this website. And one thing that's actually really cool about shopping online is that shipping is basically free on everything. As far as I could tell, not quite everything, but the vast majority of things. And a lot of them, depending on where you live, are even available for stuff like one day shipping. So it's not really that big of a deal that you can't go to a store to pick it up. If you can just get it that day anyways. Now, prices are kind of hard to compare to the brick and mortar store because they didn't actually have the same things. But when comparing other various things, the margin did seem to be slightly higher for brick and mortar, which is kind of expected. So that's not a huge deal. And one thing that's really nice about the top price website is that, well, you can do a mass search for a product and find the cheapest one. So you're probably going to end up getting a pretty good deal. But then again, things are kind of expensive in Switzerland. So it's probably still not going to be cheap. In terms of cell providers, we were there for under a week. So we only really had time to try out one. There are two or three, however, but I've heard that they're all kind of somewhat the same in terms of service providing and cost. We paid 10 Swiss francs and were able to get coverage for the entire week with unlimited data and a bunch of other things included. And that's actually really cheap. Also, it was really easy to set up. The process was quite quick and it worked in our phones immediately. Actually quite satisfied in terms of that. We went everywhere from Geneva to Luzon to Lucerne and a few places in between and one a little bit further and yeah, coverage everywhere, including when we were hiking out in the hills. So I'm quite satisfied with the cell service in Switzerland.

All right, guys, thanks for watching. I know this is a little bit different than kind of the standard stuff we put out there, but it's been a topic that's actually been quite interesting to us at the office as we travel around the world, checking out the different ways things are done, how hard or easy it is to buy computers, checking out different tech malls, all that kind of stuff. So hopefully you enjoyed it. If you have ideas for different angles that I could take in the future or honestly places that I should visit, although we'll probably only go there if there's a computer show. But anyways, let me know in the comments down below or on Twitter. That would be super helpful. This kind of segment is still growing quite a bit. So your feedback is definitely appreciated.
