#2The article rightly points out the industrial impact of more powerful and compact lasers but I cannot wait for those PCSELs to reach the small workshop market. Having a cheap laser able to cut metal at home / small shops would be so useful (And sneakily dangerous as lasers are).

Honestly I'm kinda surprised there aren't handheld laser engraving devices made for quick and permanent graffiti.

There are abundant portable galvo head lasers out there. A lot of them targeting the hobby market, but also more powerful ones (that are less cheap) meant for marking or engraving parts in situ.
Everlast now has a laser welder, too.
I think it’s only a matter of time before we get cheaper cutter in the 1kw range.

#5This article on society 5.0 doesn't mention lasers. Anyone have info on why ultra-powerful lasers are critical to specifically this plan for the future?

On that note, did anyone ever make a handheld inkjet or spray nozzle, so you could print graffiti on walls or things on the go? I imagine most of the tech in it would be the same as in the kind of laser device you're asking about.

#7A society in which "the average car-buyer" has a tiny portable steel-melting laser is a society where I'm wearing welding goggles every time I leave the house. And I'm not sure how you even lock a bike or a door or a safe any more.
