Palmer Luckey’s Anduril is getting into laptops — and claims they’ll be American-made
Anduril and Qualcomm are partnering to develop 'BlueChip,' a line of laptops designed and assembled in the United States. The initiative aims to reduce reliance on foreign supply chains, though the companies acknowledge that achieving 100% domestic manufacturing remains a long-term challenge.
Why it matters
This project reflects growing corporate and government interest in 'reshoring' critical technology manufacturing to address national security and economic vulnerabilities.
Anduril and Qualcomm are partnering on a new line of laptops called BlueChip, launching in early 2027. The first prototype is a ruggedized model using Arm-based Snapdragon X series chips and aimed at the US military, but the ultimate focus of the joint venture is to make laptops entirely in the US. Eventually.
The global supply chain of computers and laptops normally involves China, Taiwan, and many other countries, so the first BlueChip laptops will only be “designed and assembled in the United States,” per Anduril’s official press release. Assembly is planned to be done at Anduril’s Arsenal-1 facility in Ohio.
