Qualcomm has launched the Snapdragon C platform, a processor aimed at affordable entry-level laptops for students, families, and small businesses. Devices using the chip are expected later this year from Acer, HP, and Lenovo. Unveiled on May 28, the platform targets laptops starting at about $300, with emphasis on battery life, portability, and AI features for daily use. It supports routine activities including web browsing, video streaming, office software, and video calls while keeping systems cool and quiet. Qualcomm highlights strong power efficiency, enabling extended battery runtime in thin laptops without losing speed on standard tasks.
