Palmer Luckey’s Anduril is getting into laptops — and claims they’ll be American-made

Anduril, a company co-founded by Palmer Luckey, is partnering with Qualcomm to launch a new line of laptops called BlueChip in 2027. The first model will be a rugged, Arm-based laptop aimed at the US military, using Snapdragon X series chips. The ultimate goal is to make laptops entirely in the US, but the first models will only be designed and assembled in the US. Anduril plans to use its Ohio-based Arsenal-1 facility for assembly. The company is not yet clear on how it will achieve 100% domestic manufacturing, but plans to use American-made components such as display glass, frame, and parts of the ribbon component. The percentage of domestic components in the first model is still unknown, but it is unlikely to meet the 65% threshold for being considered 'American-made'.
