US to Build Laptops Domestically by 2027
29 Oct
Summary
- Anduril and Qualcomm will build laptops in the US starting in 2027.
- The goal is to create a fully domestic supply chain for computers.
- The laptops aim to meet Buy American Act standards, starting at 65% US components.
Anduril and Qualcomm have announced a significant partnership to manufacture laptops entirely within the United States, with production set to begin in 2027. This venture marks a concerted effort to establish a complete domestic supply chain for computer hardware.
The company has committed to meeting stringent US manufacturing standards. Their first laptop model is intended to fulfill the Buy American Act requirements, ensuring at least 65% of its components are US-made by the 2027 launch.
Future plans include increasing this domestic component percentage and potentially achieving 100% US manufacturing. This initiative aims to bolster American industry and reduce reliance on foreign manufacturing for critical technology.
Qualcomm's Snapdragon processors for these laptops will be manufactured at TSMC's facility in Arizona. Anduril is also developing US-based sources for components like batteries, enclosure metals, and display glass.
