I recently got in my possession an 'Laser 128 personal computer', but is
missing a power supply and matching cable. Underneath it says, 'Laser
Color computer', made in Hong Kong and from 1985.

The power connector requires DC15V and is a round 7 pin din plug. Could
I use a standard Apple IIc power supply (model no. A2M4016) with it? If
not, what would work e.g. modified PC, Commodore 64 or Amiga
computer/disk drive power supplies, etc?

Also, anyone know where I can find some documentation and software like
Laser DOS and Basic, etc?

Use prodos and Apple][ software.

What's the compatibly like with a real Apple II eg. 80%? I remember,
some clones were real shocking!

I never found anything that would not work on a Laser 128 which would work on a //c

Just a curiosity is the Laser 128, better than the genuine Apple IIc?

It had a few more features, was bigger, had worse keyboard but was cheaper. The biggest differences were the Apple][ compatible slot on the side and the parallel printer port.

Thanks,
Jeff.
