Electricity

Power Outlets

Switzerland has its own standard which is described in SEC 1011, It will mostly work for type C connectors (also known as "Europlug") European connectors. It will not work with type E (French earthed) or type F (also known as "Schuko").

Just take note that the voltage is 230VAC/50Hz, most modern netbook & notebook power supply supports working from 100 - 240VAC, 50-60HZ, but check on yours just to be safe, and also check if you need and adapter, for images and more info you can check wikipedia and this other link
