Longtime fans of Google hardware may remember the distinctive multi-color lightbar on classic devices like the Chromebook Pixel. Among its most memorable capabilities was the "knock-knock" gesture, which allowed users to double-tap the laptop's lid to quickly view the remaining battery life.
However, recent reports indicate that the Googlebook Glowbar omits this classic shortcut. While the signature lightbar concept is present, it does not currently recognize the physical tap gesture to display power levels.
The absence marks a disappointing omission for enthusiasts hoping to see the nostalgic feature make a seamless return alongside the hardware. For now, users will need to rely on standard on-screen indicators to monitor their device's battery status.
