## Key points

- Anduril and Qualcomm announced a rugged laptop called BlueChip.
- About 90% of its first-generation components will be US-made or allied.
- Preorders are expected in 2027, at a premium to high-end PCs.

## Summary

Anduril and Qualcomm have announced BlueChip, a rugged laptop intended for US government and other security-conscious customers. Anduril founder Palmer Luckey says the project aims to rebuild computer manufacturing in the United States, with a traceable supply chain and a long-term goal of making every component domestically.

The first version is expected to be available for preorder in 2027, with about 90% of its components made in the US or allied countries. It will use a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Series processor made at TSMC’s Arizona facility, but some parts, including the display, are currently made only in China. Anduril has not announced a price; Luckey estimates it will cost about 20% more than a typical high-end PC, and says the rugged design will bring weight and battery-life trade-offs.
