OMG this is fricking phenomenal!!!

Just wait a couple years and it'll be down to a human price level. I just got a panel cut using water jet technology. I bet this machine could have done it instead...

Hey maybe this post should be put in Machine Shop? Mods?

Pity it will only engrave aluminium and not cut it.

A 40W CO2 Laser is a CO2 Laser, doesn't matter how nice you pack it.
However, nice software features.

Yup, looks like a great software package disguised as hardware. And following up on the 3dprinter fashion..

There are numerous laser cutters out there in the 40- 100W range. Most come from China, and like their CNC brethren, may require a fair bit of work to make them function in a reliable manner.  This particular  software package looks very user friendly.  At that price it is a nice package.  At the "list" price it is twice as much as its competition and may not have as much appeal. Full Spectrum Laser is an American company that also produces similar units and is probably worth looking at.
