Anduril just announced BlueChip, a rugged laptop built so its buyers can know every hardware and software component inside it. It’s a joint project with Qualcomm from Anduril, the defense company founded by Oculus creator Palmer Luckey. Luckey calls it “the anti-surveillance computer.” It comes down to where it’s made. Anduril says about 90% of the laptop’s bill of materials comes from US or allied suppliers. The chip is a Qualcomm Snapdragon X Series processor, made at TSMC’s new Arizona factory. Circuit boards are planned for Anduril’s Arsenal-1 plant in Ohio. You probably won’t be buying one. It is aimed at the military, government agencies, first responders and police. Luckey estimates it will cost about 20% more than a typical high-end laptop, and he admits most regular buyers would be better off with a Dell. Preorders open in 2027. The twist: Luckey wants it 100% domestic, but the display itself is still made only in China. He has found a US supplier for the glass that covers it. #Anduril #BlueChip #PalmerLuckey - @nicconley
