The first model runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Series chips for processing, graphics and on-device AI. Anduril will assemble circuit boards at its Arsenal-1 factory in Ohio, with orders starting in 2027. Prototypes already source over 90% of component costs from US and allied suppliers. Founder Palmer Luckey admits the laptops will initially cost more than Chinese-made ones but expects them to become competitive over time. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What chip will power Anduril and Qualcomm's new BlueChip government laptop? The first BlueChip laptop runs on Qualcomm's Snapdragon X Series chips, which handle processing, graphics and on-device AI. Anduril will assemble the circuit boards at its Arsenal-1 weapons factory in Ohio, with orders expected to open in 2027. More than 90% of prototype component costs already come from US and allied suppliers. _Developers tracking Snapdragon X hardware adoption beyond phones can follow this rollout on daily.dev._ ### Why are Anduril and Qualcomm making laptops in the US instead of overseas? They argue national security requires it, since most computers and their parts are made abroad, mainly in Asia, and a war or supply shock could cut off access. Anduril founder Palmer Luckey said the laptops will cost more than Chinese-made ones at first but expects US-made computers to become competitive over time. _daily.dev readers weighing supply chain and sourcing risk can follow how this US manufacturing push unfolds._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Qualcomm’s next-gen Snapdragon X2 laptops are here — and they brought a new friend](https://daily.dev/posts/qualcomm-s-next-gen-snapdragon-x2-laptops-are-here-and-they-brought-a-new-friend-lvndaleff) · The Verge · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Qualcomm wants to be the chip inside whatever replaces your smartphone, and it just announced two products toward that end](https://daily.dev/posts/qualcomm-wants-to-be-the-chip-inside-whatever-replaces-your-smartphone-and-it-just-announced-two-pr-uzzjtkasw) · TechCrunch · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [Linux First, Windows Later\!
