Intel atom cpu 1.33 ghz. 1gb ram. 32gb storage. 10.1 inch. Notebook with touchscreen. Asus.
60hz a bit more than 720p
Intel hd graphics.
Does this meet minimum requirements?
EDIT:
Conclusion: my small Asus laptop does not meet the minimum hardware requirements to play stadia on 720p
Hey @Greenhill,
normally Chrome should run fine on Windows 10. There are also some steps though you could try to fix Chrome issues:
First of all try if you connection is good enough for Stadia by using the Stadia speed test.
If this is fine, try the following steps to fix issues with Chrome:
Hope this helps, wish you the best!

Not sure if the processor is good enough, it is also slightly bellow min requirement, but the "Intel HD Graphics" is about half as effective of what is the minimum requirement, being "Intel HD 3000"
It can run, but it will not be solidly playable. Even on 800x600, which then it's pretty smooth, but it is not flawless. It goes right up there against the limit of my small netbooks capacity, assuming also because stadia forces 60 fps and 30 fps is not allowed.
Tho I have not yet tried windows 8. In the past I played allot of cloud gaming on this asus netbook using windows 8, but don't remember which resolution that was, so I cannot cross reference. I assume it was probably a very low resolution, as on LiquidSky I had the ability to tune the mbp/s and also frames per second of the stream. So obviously 30 frames per second, my netbook can easily run a much higher resolution, but it does have a slightly less low latency. But I still limitted it to max 8mbp/s which ment 4mbp/s in the game. And usually playing on 4 mbp/s being 2mbp/s in the game. With just 30 fps, that is effortless. And frankly, playing mostly World of Warcraft on it, I didn't need that much of an epicly good latency anyway.
Thanks for the reply. That clears things up for me.
I also have used this small notebook for cloudgaming in the past. Worked great. But it seems to have some issues stadia/youtube since I installed windows 10 on it. It was originally offered with windows 8.
So stadia detects bad internet connection. And lags allot. Youtube same. Even tho the internet works fine on other devices.

Thanks, I tried everything. And network test says I can do 4k for sure. But then the stadia.com launching game mentions connection not stable enough. on 720p. I tried all of it, and nothing helped, altho deleting chrome entirely and reinstalling, did improve the stability of the game a little bit, with hardware acceleration, and without it it's just completely uncontrollable. But even with, it's completely unplayable. Like seconds of latency and lag nd glitches and jitter and short random freezes and delays and it behaves completely irrational. No idea what is causing this. Only thing I can imagine is that my hardware is simply not capable of running 720p, tho that sounds illogical, because my default resolution is higher than 720p. I'm not sure what I can do more.
And ofcourse I updated all os and drivers and tried all of the suggest above aswell.
So assuming that my hardware is simply not sufficiently powerful enough to run stadia smoothly, I contemplated what I might do to ease the load. And I came up with the idea of lowering my resolution, and as I went down to 800x600, then running stadia, it worked a whole lot better. Like allot better. Almost as smooth as on my google pixel 2xl.
Shame on this laptop, a freaking phone is maybe tripple as powerful. Even my huawei phone which was 3 times as cheap as this laptop, had absolutely 0 issue running stadia on chrome desktopview.
I'll have to check gpu performance comparisons or scores to get an idea of how useless my laptop really is.

One thing you might also try, although my laptop has better specs than yours, chrome uses alot of resources, I have to open task manager after launching my game in stadia, and end all of the chrome processes, then restart it to get it to work flawlessly. Otherwise it's unplayable. I assume it's because I have alot of plugins on my chrome. Let me know if this helps at all.
Check Chrome flags to see if hardware VP9 is supported. Doing the stream decode in software may be the issue
Even though stadia doesn't care about your hardware, better hardware runs games better
