Anduril now says its BlueChip laptop will meet Buy American standards at launch

Anduril, a defense contractor, and Qualcomm, a chipmaker, have partnered to build laptops entirely in the US, with a single model launching in 2027. This is a surprise, as no major US computer company currently builds laptops in the US. Anduril initially claimed its laptop would be built with 100% domestic components, but now says it will have at least 65% of its components made in the US by launch. The company's founder, Palmer Luckey, has committed to a technical roadmap to eventually reach 100% domestic components. The partnership aims to push the computer industry towards a fully domestic supply chain. The BlueChip laptop will meet Buy American standards at launch, a requirement for government contracts.
