VERDICT

A versatile Ryzen 7-based rig that excels at Windows tasks and demanding games alike

WITH THE ARRIVAL of Intel’s 8th-gen chips and the mid-range Ryzen 5 series putting in some stellar performances, let’s not forget about what the original Ryzen 7 family can do. Case in point, Yoyotech has produced a couple of PCs centered around the top-of-the line, octa-core Ryzen 7 1800X: the Redback N6 and the Redback N6 WS.

The ‘WS’ suffi identifies the latter as a workstation. It comes with productivity minded parts such as an AMD Radeon Pro WX 1700 graphics card and 32GB of DDR4 RAM. The standard N6, which we reviewed, is a gaming machine – it’s £50 more expensive and has half the memory, but swaps the Radeon Pro GPU in favour of an EVGA-built GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition.

Both PCs share the same exquisite Game Max chassis, which to us looks more suitable as part of a gaming system than a serious workstation. With tempered glass on the front and both sides, plus a smart LED-illuminated honeycomb pattern at the front, it’s a bit of a show-off, and a button on the top I/O panel cycles through various colours and effects for a touch of easy customization.
