Brandon's Take

Glowforge is one of the most popular laser engravers and laser cutters on the market. Through a combination of quality and ease of use, they've hit a sweet spot that appeals to hardcore makers and the crafting space. But when we talk about Glowforge, we are talking about an entire ecosystem. The ecosystem includes the laser but expands to the software, materials, designs, and community surrounding the machine. That ecosystem has a good bit of lock in meaning that you'll need to use their software, always be connected to the internet and pay more than you would for other machines.
