    Looks identical to a P651Rx chassis. No refresh on that line that I'm aware of, though.

    Looks like they used the wrong images.

    Welp, I got an interesting response from them:

    "The chassis are created based on the components and their needs whilst also looking as aesthetically pleasing as possible. It isn't necessarily modelled on another chassis."

    Well... it's true that laptop chassis are designed around the board. That doesn't really clear the air about the photos in the listing. o_O

    After looking at the specs and comparing it to the XMG Pro 15, I'm going to assume it IS the PB51 and they're just using old photos. Heck, even the listed size is within 1mm of each dimension. Although, the XMG has 2 M.2 + 1 HDD while the Scan has 1 M.2 + 2 HDD. Again, I'm going to assume they just have't updated that part of it.

    Yup. PB51 is the spiritual successor to the P650 (the model in those images) anyway.

    The old chassis never held the current chips either, so it wont be in that shell.
