Some of these possibly are paid product placements, but it's been my
experience that directors like to feature attractive notebook computers in
certain kinds of scenes, and since so many people in the film community tote
around Mac notebooks, they're readily available on most sets, and they just
look a little sexier than your average PC clunker. My old Wall Street and
more recent iBook have been used as "set dressing" in a whole bunch of
videos and TV commercials.
