CNC seems to be pretty easy if you're good with the pen tool in Illustrator, because it doesn't take much hard physical work, and its probably very suitable for a laptop style design. Have you read Ben's guides on Engadget?

you go and use one at a shop you dont want to buy one. most engraving places will have one.

Is it really that easy? "Hey, what's up? So... can I use your CNC machine? Cool, thanks."

It's not that easy, they usually charge you for it, like 60 bucks an hour, and...yea.
