The Lenovo Legion Go is one of the best PC gaming handhelds, especially with updates over time that have improved performance. It has a pair of detachable controllers just like the Nintendo Switch, and a kickstand with a wide viewing range to be able to play it at any angle.

As a digital nomad fond of the dual-display lifestyle, I'm always searching for the best ways to extend my screen real estate on the go. At first, I used my iPad Pro to extend the screen of my MacBook Air with Sidecar. Eventually, that grew tiring, so I looked for other options.

Image: Microsoft Microsoft is overhauling the illustrations it uses throughout its products and services to make them less flat and more playful and interesting. The previous iteration of illustrations was heavily vector-based, with a flat illustration style that can be found throughout apps like Microsoft Teams, Skype, Office, and even parts of Windows. Now, Microsoft is shifting towards 3D designs that bring back skeuomorphism, together with more colorful and playful designs.“Our studies showed that while our illustrations could be described as colorful, inclusive, and genial on a surface level, they were received within consumer culture as uninteresting and emotionless,” explains the Microsoft Design team in a blog post outlining the new...
