er... 405nm is very dark purple, not blue.

This one is not quite $200, but it's the highest power 405nm (400mW) you can get right now for that price: 400mW blu-ray 405nm laser torch /adjustable/waterproof [OL-405T-400] - $102.99 : Welcome to O-Like.com, Your source for laser products
Here is a 445nm (true blue) (1000mW) one for less than $200: www.rayfoss.com
Here is a 300mW 660nm (red) one for $60: Cute High power 300mW red laser torch/focusable [OL-CR-250] - $59.99 : Welcome to O-Like.com, Your source for laser products
Here is one that is just over $200, and it's green (532nm) and ~400mW: 400mW green laser torch /focusable/waterproof [OL-532-350] - $205.00 : Welcome to O-Like.com, Your source for laser products

I guess you could argue that violet is kinda "blueish".
Why are you recommending class 3 and 4 lasers to a total noob?:thinking:

 

[bigworm]

Because he asked. :undecided:
Of course, 1W will be way too much power for a first laser, but the question wasn't about an "appropriate" first laser...
Oh. Right, he said "best".
Definitely CNI makes the best portable lasers, but they won't have anything for <$200: :yabbem:

I can sell you one of these:
High Power Blue 1W Laser | S3 Spyder III Arctic
Lightly used for 200 if you would like.

 

[Mohrenberg]

for $200 you can build 2 of them
1W 445nm lasers that is.

 

[jakeGT]

True 1W lasers, not 1W claimed and I'n reality
~750mW

[boosted_4cyl]

Here is what I can offer:
Take your pick of any ONE of these.
4x $50 bills
10x $20 bills
20x $10 bills
40x $5 bills
800x quarters
2000x dimes
4000x nickels
20000x pennies
Im not sure which is best, but I dont think I would like to carry around 20000 pennies
I dont know anything about blue lasers, so i cant help you there

 

[Ash]

Or how about just one of these new bills:

 

[jakeGT]
