For competing with the Apple MacBook Neo, Google Chromebooks, and other entry-level laptops, Qualcomm today announced the Snapdragon C series SoCs.

As a step below the more premium Snapdragon X series laptop SoCs, Qualcomm announced the Snapdragon C series today ahead of Computex kicking off in Taiwan. The Snapdragon C platform is designed for entry-tier laptops and will be used by OEMs like HP, Acer, and Lenovo. The Snapdragon C platform aims for the $300+ laptop segment.

Details on the Snapdragon C are light today with the first laptops not expected until later in 2026. Qualcomm does confirm though that the Snapdragon C aims for all-day battery life and will feature an NPU for AI.
