I've bought a very cheap chromebook this black friday, an Atom X5-E8000 with 2gb of ram. I didn't bought exactly to play Stadia, but I decided to give it a try. It works, but there are small hiccups happening all the time (sometimes even complain about the connection quality), GPU usage sometimes goes up to 95%, but normally stays at 60%, and CPU is always around 45%. The game resolution goes from FullHD (I think, since my screen is a bit lower resolution than FullHD) and sometimes lower. It is almost playable, and I think a bit of optimization could do the trick to make this cheap chromebook to actually play stadia games. It's not any network related issue, I think, because on the same network I play flawlessly on Chromecast, on MacBook and on my Linux PC.
