Not quite.  Later ('386 and up) Laser PC models didn't look like the Laser
128 series but the earliest Laser brand PCs used the SAME case as the
Laser 128.  The specific model that I saw being sold in a store a long
time ago was the Laser XT, an IBM XT compatible in a Laser 128 case,
complete with built in 5.25" drive.
