Why to commercials that show laptops always use an Apple?

Because mac's are sexy.

Oh, and all non-Apple monitors look like as* compared to them. I think my Dell looks nice, but it really is crap compared to any Mac monitor.

Apple Computers have been in movies since before iPods were out.

Seriously though Apple spends money to have their laptops featured. Movies as well. So many of the placements actually have the actor turn the machine so the logo is in the middle of the shot just below center.

I wish they weren't so obvious about it. In the Bourne Ultimatum, spy chick opens up her laptop and the first thing it does is flash Norton Antivirus doing its thing. And then she logs into the CIA mainframe and does her super secret spy shit on her secure government computer. Really?

I don't mind product placement, but don't make it contrived. Most contrived ever was Will Smith and his Converse shoes.
