xTool M2 Review – Why Buy Anything Else?
The desktop laser market finally started catching up to xTool.
Then xTool did this.
And honestly… I think a lot of other brands are about to have a very bad year.
Because the M2 isn’t just another enclosed diode laser trying to tick feature boxes for a spec sheet. This thing repeatedly gave me moments where I stopped mid-project and went:
“…ok, that’s actually clever.”
And if you know this channel, you’ll know I’m normally the miserable git complaining about everything.
So for me to end up THIS impressed?
Yeah… that probably says enough already.
But there are still compromises.
There are still frustrations.
And there are definitely a few decisions here that made me question what happened during development.
So in this review we’re finding out whether the xTool M2 is genuinely the new king of desktop lasers… or whether the hype falls apart once you actually start using it.
