So further testing....

I changed the channel to Beta and downloaded R94 no change. So switched back to stable relase. My X2 11 went back to Chrome OS 92. Connection in Stadia went back to Excellent but kept using Software VP9 which was skippy but connection was good. I updated to stable release 93. Back to FAIR stadia connection. I have zero clue what the differene is nor who to give this information to. But now it used Hardware VP9 and frames were good just connection was FAIR and it didn't play well.

I think this is a Chrome OS bug with the x2 11.

Ordered a network adapter I'll try this out before ruling this X2 11 as a problem. 2 new devices same issue so I don't think it's hardware. Or could be a **bleep**ty wifi adapter ...or chrome os bug.

Edit: Or it is the processor 7c since it's gen 1 and is compared to a pentium level.

Didn't work but as an example of the YouTube video if I'm reading it right the buffer health is healthy but it's still dropping frames like crazy.

Just tried a Guest Login and still same FAIR connection. I'm going to order a USB C adapter to wire it in just to rule out this Wi-Fi chip 2 X2 11's and same performance on 2 different internets (Gigabit and 200+).

Another oddity on this laptop is that it skips on YouTube with 60fps content at 1440p which the screen supposedly handles. You can see like a slight skip / buffer but internet connection, speed tests, ping tests are ALL normal. 300+ download, pinging to stadia and Youtube all results as low ms with no big spikes.

Chromebook X2 11 Issues - Fair Connection

Hello,

I just bought a new HP Chromebook x2 2021 model that has a Snapdragon 7c processor. I also have a new HP Elitebook. On the new Chromebook I only get "Fair" for performance and stadia is choppy. On the elitebook Stadia is smooth as normal with an excellent rating. I own 3 CCU's all wired in and fine. I also own a Samsung Galaxy S20+ that works great as well.....

I don't believe it's my network since every device besides the new X2 works fine. I took the device back and got a replacement. Same issues occur. Anyone else have this Chromebook and having issues? Is this device just not powerful enough to run stadia games?
