The first Windows laptops and tablets with Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X processors launched a couple of years ago, bringing good battery life and AI smarts to the table. These chips have largely appeared in premium to mid-range laptops, but Qualcomm has just unveiled a brand-new Windows chip for cheap laptops.

Qualcomm has announced the Snapdragon C processor a few days ahead of the Computex expo. The company says this chipset will appear in laptops that cost ~$300 or more, making it a truly mainstream play for Snapdragon-powered Windows laptops. In fact, Qualcomm suggests that this chip will power laptops aimed at classrooms, small business owners, and families.
