Qualcomm Unveils Snapdragon C to Power Budget Windows Laptops

Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon C, an ARM-based system-on-chip designed for entry-level Windows laptops around $300, promising all-day battery life, quiet cooling, and built-in AI acceleration (NPU) for web browsing, video streaming, and productivity. Laptops from Acer, HP, Lenovo and others are expected later this year, signaling a shift away from Intel in budget PCs, though the chip isn’t geared for heavy tasks like 3D rendering or 8K editing.

Qualcomm targets $300 Windows laptops with new Snapdragon C platform

Qualcomm unveils Snapdragon C, a budget Windows laptop platform aimed at around $300, built on older Kryo cores with a local AI NPU, though not Copilot-enabled. Acer has confirmed the first Snapdragon C device (Aspire Go 15 AG15P/Q31P) with up to 8GB RAM and 512GB storage, with HP and Lenovo among early partners; more details will follow in a couple months as Qualcomm edges toward all-day-battery, low-noise budget laptops.

MacBook Neo reigns supreme in a budget-laptop showdown

The Verge tests three budget Windows laptops (Asus Vivobook 16, Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x, and Acer Aspire 14 AI) against the MacBook Neo at $599. While the Windows machines offer more RAM and ports on paper, they lag in real‑world use due to dim, washed displays, middling keyboards/trackpads, and weak speakers. The Acer leads in battery life and ports, Lenovo has a decent keyboard but poorer audio, and Asus is the least compelling overall. The Neo wins on display brightness/color, trackpad precision, webcam clarity, and general usability, making it hard to beat at this price; among Windows options, Acer Aspire 14 AI is the best of the three, but still trails the Neo. Chromebooks are mentioned as alternatives, but aren’t as feature-complete. The bottom line: Neo dominates budget laptops for now, challenging PC makers to fix core corners without raising prices.
