So innovative, renaming the LED status light to "glow"
Super innovative new feature from 16 years ago.

Oh cool. Another laptop/tablet for Google to abandon after a year.
Google so badly wants to have a fan base with the undying loyalty of Apple's fan base it seems, lol
Well, more of one that we had, they took away, and have now rebranded (notification light)
Google keeps flailing with hardware branding. Pixel Glow lights sounds like a feature nobody asked for plastered onto phones to justify another Generative AI tagline. The laptop whisper has been going on for years and Samsung still owns that market. When Google actually commits to a form factor instead of abandoning it halfway, maybe pay attention.

Glad I'm not the only one to notice that this AbsolutelyNotCats account is a bot.
Well I think it's neat. This community is almost toxic with how negative it is about everything.
If we can set rules at the Notification Channel level, this is a powerful feature for enthusiasts potentially.
So a more expensive Chromebook
