    What will the Lenovo Legion Go Lite look like?

    Windows Central reports a Lite version of the modular Steam Deck alternative is in the works, with an AMD Z1-based processor — and almost no information beyond that.

    I think there’s more than enough room to shrink the relatively massive 8.8-inch display. Lenovo could also easily sacrifice the removable mouse/controllers, among other low-hanging fruit. We’re taking bets in the comments.

    “The legend of Erdrick draws near.”

    A short video from Square Enix reveals that Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D, a remake of the 1988 RPG, will come to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.

    Square Enix first announced it in 2021 alongside Dragon Quest 12, and we could soon get a release date. The charming art style is reminiscent of Octopath Traveler, which uses the same engine.

    Someone got Recall working on a non-Copilot PC.

    Windows documentarian Albacore has ported the Windows 11 feature to a machine running a third-gen Snapdragon 7c Plus with 3.4GB of RAM.

    Albacore says Recall — which takes periodic snapshots and uses AI to make info easier to find in your files, meeting notes, and more — runs surprisingly well considering the chipset doesn’t have the NPU required for Copilot Plus PCs.

    The Pixel 7 Pro is $100 cheaper than the Pixel 8a right now.

    We have no problem recommending the Pixel 7 Pro now Woot is selling the unlocked 128GB model for $399 ($500 off) through May 31st.

    It’s an amazing value, but not guaranteed to get newer Android versions beyond October 2025. The Pixel 8a promises updates through May 2031.

    If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission.

    Gordon Bell, minicomputer pioneer, passes away at age 89.

    As an engineer for DEC in 1965, Bell played a pivotal role in shrinking room-sized computer systems into minicomputers.

    An $18,000 prototype Bell created inspired the compact PCs we enjoy today. Bell later started the Computer History Museum.

    Pixel 8’s once-exclusive AI photo editing tools start rolling out to older phones.

    As promised, owners of older Pixels are starting to see Magic Editor features unlocked and free to use in Google Photos. Other Androids and iPhones will get them, too, but you’ll need a $9.99 Google One subscription to save more than 10 edits per month.

    The editor lets you make complex photo adjustments automatically, such as removing people from scenes.
