Qualcomm launched Snapdragon C, an Arm SoC targeting entry-level Windows laptops from $300, featuring Kryo cores and a built-in NPU; Acer, HP, and Lenovo will ship devices later in 2025. For procurement teams, this positions Qualcomm directly against Intel Alder Lake-N in the budget segment, expanding Arm Windows coverage to price points previously dominated by x86 — relevant for organizations deploying large fleets of light-duty endpoints.
