And I only have an old Samsung Chromebook (which I've nuked the CrOS in it long time ago) and an ARM-based HP Android tablet... kill me now.
My mom does have an Asus FonePad 7 LTE though, I'm sure it's Atom-based but it's only running KitKat, but I can have a look on it.
Edit: Screw it the app needs Lollipop or higher, the ASUS may have official Lollipop ROM but I'm not taking the risk especially when it's not mine. -
I finally got around to installing crossover and trying it out. It's actually just Wine, ported to run on Chrome OS android. I didn't try running MS office (which is what everyone really wants crossover for), but I found its basically the same trials and tribulations you get when running wine on linux.
