Qualcomm targets $300 Arm Windows laptops with Snapdragon C

Qualcomm is extending Arm-based Windows into the $300 laptop tier, giving OEMs a lower-cost chip option for entry-level devices. That matters because it expands Arm PCs beyond premium pricing and puts pressure on budget Windows designs. The key ecosystem signal is timing: these laptops are expected later this year, so the next milestone is when the first Snapdragon C systems ship and how many models hit the entry-level segment.
