what's going on everyone probably wondering where I've been for the Christmas holidays I've been in Germany I'm still here in Germany we are at for the call tech market pick the most generic name ever for a tech store but that's where we are and I figured we'd start things off with the graphics card section because that tends to be the best indicator of where prices are for PC building enthusiasts so we'll start first with the rx 570 here 329 euros okay that is roughly just a direct conversion there about what 380 400 USD almost which is pretty darn high for 570 and this is only a four gig card we have the GTX 1060 next to it for three hundred and eight euro which is actually a better deal just from a raw performance standpoint they've 1060 slightly better it just on a frame rate comparison also a six gig card so you're getting the higher-end 1060 there from ZOTAC for about 20 euro less which is pretty cool down here we have an RX 570 again this is another four gig model 279 euro okay I'm not sure why gigabytes models so much more expensive than sapphires but this would be the one I would recommend in that case okay this is the RX 580 also from sapphire for 399 euro didn't get in pretty pricey this is like gtx 1070 1070 TI territory in the states and you're only getting a 580 there so prices are pretty high and I'm sure most of you who live in Europe already know that now on NVIDIA side gtx 1070 this is an asus course a gig car there all you get cards this is for 33 euro and you can pair that of the 580 which is not as good a car this is actually a pretty good deal we're looking at around 490 to 500 euro I'm just kind of just doing these in my head but that's not too bad considering we are in Germany next to that we have the GTX 1080 turbo blower style card from a soos this is a $560 card euro looking at over 600 bucks us that's pretty expensive for a blower style 1080 you're looking at roughly 1080i performance equivalently in the space for way to be paying so if you live in this States especially you know that RAM prices right now are extremely high they're working on the new fabrication notes and new processes for memory so the old stuff is basically just not in supply very much and that's why prices are pretty high for RAM it's interesting though in this store at least an 8 gig stick of ddr4 granted only running at 20 40 megahertz only costs according to this tag here $49.99 euro when you convert that that's about 50 60 bucks u.s. but but that's still actually a pretty good price this stick here we just pull it up on like Newegg Ramazan costs a bit more so RAM is actually cheaper in Europe than it is in the United States even though the supply from Korea and elsewhere is the say I mean it's all coming from the same place so I don't know what that's about interesting though so keyboards are pretty expensive here hundred 80 euro for a chroma BlackWidow v2 these are what Razer green switches they have their own switched brands but there are similar to Browns and blues these are the orange switches this one's actually missing a key cap so if someone took off with looks like the - key good game all right and for console lovers out there I actually just bought a ps4 pro myself this one is bundled with it looks like beef 18 you get some extra perks involved with that game but this is priced at 400 euro this is equivalent almost to what it costs in the States but of course you have the conversion factor to take into account here so this is gonna be about 450 ish US dollars not too bad it's great to see console prices aren't overinflated by any substantial amount here and if we pan on over to the Xbox one X's that they have I don't know what the prices are on these I'm sure they're a bit more what do we have here $4.99 that's that's that's about right that's about what I'd expect it to be and it doesn't look over getting a bundle here ya know bundle but isn't that crazy six teraflops of floating-point performance now that's not you can't just directly convert that you know from console to PC to another PC it's all relative but still incredible compute power for a console like this I take it back you can get pub G bundled with your 499 euro Xbox one X purchase so chicken dinner and get yourself some chicken dinner right here all right we are here in the waffle maker section because we definitely need to get one for hope let's see we have different sizes we can have big waffles waffle shaped like a flower nobody our mini hard we want to have this mini Horry this is an entire aisle of what do you guys call them platen dealers license peelers basically like electronic DJ setups I've never seen this many DJ setups an electronic store in my life kind of cool TV prices always really sketchy difficult to compare especially across countries because there are several models and many of them share exactly the same specs and at different times in the year you can get there from really cheap I got a 55 inch LG 4k TV non OLED but a good enough thing was a VA panel for like 550 u.s. dollars it's around 450 500 euro I'm not really going to try to compare these TV prices to that one but this one here I think is their most expensive TV they have in the store twenty thousand euros for a 77 inch this better be 8k nope only a 4k TV that is incredible my GoPros are an interesting commodity to compare across country so GoPro purifiers are gonna cost around 330 euro that's for a GoPro Hero 5 black which is a 4k 30fps action camera of course everyone knows GoPro now the gopro hero 6 which is most notably known for its 4k 60fps capabilities cost about five hundred and thirty euros which is about thirty thirty euros more than the equivalent US dollar price of $4.99 that's not too bad at all actually let's say 1500 vs. 1300 what am i what am i what am i seeing different here okay you want the 4k display it's another 200 euro so not bad the people in Europe say bucks ever liked it all I didn't think so okay they're gonna make fun of me in this video an lg monitor these the analogy ultra wide there are actually really great values I started out with one of these that I had the 29 um 57 this is a 58 here but this is a 2560 by 1080p panel and that comes up to roughly 29 inches which is about 74 centimeters this is a great this is a great value monitor still 275 euro not the greatest deal here at least but in the states you can pick these up for dirt cheap we're talking in certain in certain scenarios under 200 USD if you find one for under two and USD and you're not concerned about anything higher than you know ultra wide 1080p then get yourself one of these trust me I used one for a long time they're great monitors okay a bit of a shame here we just realized that they don't have refresh rates listed for any of these monitors this is a gaming monitor from Asus the PG 25 8 Q which I know III it's either a 144 Hertz or a 240 Hertz panel it's only 1080p so it's likely at a high refresh rate 240 Hertz panel g-sync all the goodies included for 500 euro but again you wouldn't know any of that just by looking at the tag because all you see here is the diagonal length and then you see the the pixel of the resolution and me for whatever reason the aspect ratio because that's super important I guess well we do know the refresh rate of one of these monitors because it's actually like engraved on the frame that's pretty funny so this is an AOC monitor 144 Hertz 1080p panel looks like a TN yep so TN panel and 1080p for 245 euro not too bad but you could find better more than likely in the States alright for those Apple buffs out there looking at eleven hundred and fifty euro for the 64 gig Space Gray iPhone 10 if you want the 256 gig variant you're looking at about 300 or excuse me thirteen hundred and twenty euro that is if you convert currencies about a three to four hundred dollar markup just because you're in Europe that's a bit outrageous you're looking at 900 euro for an iPhone 8 + 64 gig model you want just an iPhone 7 base model here 32 gigs of storage looking at about 630 euro I still pretty darn high for a phone that's a gen old iPhone 6 is what 379 that's interesting like they were only selling the 32 gig model and then if you want an iPhone se for whatever reason 350 euro for the 32 gig model I'm actually still sporting an se kind of halfway sporting one I saw between that and LGV 30 but still good phone if you like the small form-factor so with the release of Intel's newest I'm gonna calling it cable a car I'm not mistaken it's basically the 8000 series ultra-low power processors so the i7s have four core hyper threaded CPUs which is pretty sweet for ultra-low power CPUs and the tvp's I think is exactly the same I haven't yet reviewed one but it's nice to see these in stock they are a bit pricey I would say these are about two to five hundred euro more than their US counterparts but the fact that you can buy them it's pretty sweet some of these actually have dedicated like 940 MX NVIDIA GPUs it's just pretty sweet good for on-the-go video rendering and the like one PC I'm really interested in testing this one right here from Asus it looks almost identical to the Dell XPS 13 at least with that infinity display it's got literally no bezel and costs about 950 euro only sporting the 7000 series i5 so 2 cores and hyper-threaded but still it looks pretty nice you know I used to think tablets were super cool that was when I was in high school actually just graduating high school my senior year I thought tablets were super cool I think I bought one it was an old Nexus 7 tablet and a really nice stock Android experience I ended up selling the thing after like three months because I just didn't use it but really anything phones do most of what tablets can do and if you want something that's much bigger than a phone in terms of real estate you know screen wise then buy yourself a laptop because you do a lot more with it in my opinion all right now there's always the question of prebuilt s-- whether or not you're paying a hefty premium to have the pc pre-built for you with Windows 10 or you know whatever operating system already installed so this is an i-5 7400 processor one terabyte hard disk drive and that's it eight gigs of RAM I know we have a 256gb SSD now gtx 1060 not sure if it's the three or six gig variant will assume three because it's usually the worst of the two and of course Windows 10 looking at a thousand and 99 euros about a thousand euros if you wanted to build one yourself of course though you don't get you know the demise ability when you purchase pre-built but you're looking at about $100 markup which isn't too bad honestly for or pre-built here in Germany alright always interesting to check out text stores especially when we're in other countries this is the first like text or review slash walkthrough we've done in a different country I think so thanks Germany for hosting us thanks Lisa for hosting me and for holding the camera this entire time there's a really weird country song playing in the background you guys listen the country here so anyway thanks for watching we will be uploading regular content here again soon when we're back in Florida until next time this is science studio thanks for traveling with us
