Unfortunately, many shows and commercials are using the PowerBook G4 
(TiBook) but completely covering the Apple logo on the lid.

As for The West Wing's use of Apple Computers, they have been pretty 
consistant until now when it seems like more and more Windows boxes and 
laptops are making their way into the White House.  Last year and the 
year before, Sam Seaborn's PowerBook G3 (presumably a Pismo) could 
frequently be seen on his desk in both an open and closed position.  The 
glowing white apple on Sam's Pismo was clearly seen even in videotapes I 
made of the episodes.

There are other current shows which also show off Apple's laptops on a 
consistent basis and which do not attempt to cover up the Apple logo, 
like Just Shoot Me and Will and Grace.  Shows in the recent past which 
also showed off Apple well were Dharma & Greg, The Fugitive, Nash 
Bridges, and others.
