It will use Qualcomm's Arm-based Snapdragon X processors, which Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon said are planned to be made at TSMC's Arizona factory.
Palmer Luckey's defense company is entering the laptop market with a semiconductor partner behind it. Anduril and Qualcomm said the first BlueChip will be rugged for military and government work, with Windows and two Linux distributions planned, plus compatibility work so older business software runs.
Anduril has a working prototype. More than 90% of its component procurement cost comes from suppliers in the United States or allied countries, and circuit board assembly is planned for Anduril's Arsenal-1 facility in Ohio. Luckey's goal is eventually building every part, displays and magnets included, inside the country.
