Yes it is the one and the same company, in my younger days, I sold
computers at Sears, who carried the Laser line. They sold both PC and
Apple][ compatables.

they sell their PC clones in the US as well?
I don't know if it is the same company or not, but Laser PC's are very
common in Australia - although the 286's which I knew tended to have
problems with their hard drives. There are also PC/XT's, and 386's.
There
were also a couple of Laser laptop/palmtops, along the
lines of the Tandy
100 and Amstrad NC-100. They show up on the second hand market all the
time, and I keep meaning to pick up a couple.
