Amen. The relationship that developed between him and Agent Dunham was heart warming.

Shameless product placement across various scenes from various episodes of This is Us:
I would never have guessed!

Until seeing the final cap, I was going to reply, literally, “promotion consideration made by Apple’.
Robert Neville in I Am Legend has what is almost certainly a MacBook Pro 1,1 (or maybe a 2,1) given that the film was released in 2007.
The product placement continues with an Apple monitor on show in Neville's laboratory but not the computer its connected to: presumably a Mac Pro.

What really....really annoys me in modern films/tv is when the character is 'obviously' using a Mac, but the logo's are removed (from laptop's) and when you see the screen it's MacOS....🤣
This thread reminds me how easy-going things used to be, now it's all legal BS.

Hans Zimmer and co in 2001 using various Macs whilst composing/arranging the score for Black Hawk Down.
Investigative journalist and author Nick Davies using a MacBook Air with a monitor as a 2nd display.
Further examples of extensive Mac usage through the years by Zimmer and his collaborators. Courtesy of the BBC documentary, Hans Zimmer: Hollywood Rebel.
I'm embarrassed to admit that I was unawares of the volume of UK film and TV content which I'd grown up watching that Zimmer had scored. The range and extent of his discography is incredible.

OK, as part of my week in mourning for the inimitable Ryuichi Sakamoto, I’ve found a few more pics of him when he worked from his own studio, as well as others, planted before various Apple products. One could suss he was especially fond of a 15-inch aluminium PowerBook G4, which he was using as late as 2012, and also a late 2008 15-inch unibody MacBook Pro (judging how one of the unibody pics was from March 2009). He seems to have replaced the unibody with a ca. 2012–13 15-inch rMBP and stuck with that through at least 2020 and possibly until he died.

From the recently released eBook "Steve Jobs in his own words", we get some nice photography of Steve. Here's a cool one showing his home office in 2004.
We seem to see a Power Mac G5, the 30-inch Alu Cinema Display with iSight, and the Apple keyboard and mouse. Also behind the Cinema Display is what looks like a mini model of a Power Mac G5. I wondered if it was the Macally external 3.5" HDD enclosure, but I don't think it looked like that on the back. Is it just a miniature, or was there a brand that made these?

Some stand-outs:
1) his work space was waaaay messier and homey than I ever would have expected — which, in a way, is both a relief but also hypocritical as heck when thinking about the cold, austere, antiseptic a.f. “infinite loop” monument of the current corporate office he signed off to have built before he died
2) that’s a Genelec 1029A computer speaker (no idea where the other is) on his desk (they were not cheap, see below)
3) there’s a stash of what appears to be A1048 keyboards on a bottom shelf
4) he had a thing for eyedroppers, uh
5) the framed pic on his desk is, at first glance, worrisome, in that it looks like it’s a framed pic of himself, but there appears a beard on there, so maybe it’s a pic of his dad
6) I’m not sure if that’s a Sony or Canon digital camera resting just above the ground
7) his office had a space heater, and he kept a miniature model of his space heater next to the Genelec
Oops..meant in the previous set of pics.
My iPad mini has a lag issue with lots of pics.
That was kind of implied, given how the features were almost a spitting image of Steve.
One of many product placement laden scenes from Iron Man. It seems that Dell outspent Apple in promotional consideration because their monitors outnumber those of Apple's. However, the (unseen) Mac enjoys the distinction of being the lead CAD platform for Tony Stark's exo-suit technology.
NASA programmer Donald E. Eyles, who wrote a large segment of the Lunar Module landing code is shown here using an iMac at home. The more observant among you should be able to identify the exact model.
Images taken from this Wall Street Journal clip in which Eyles discusses his role at NASA and cites the early Mac CD-ROM as an analogy.

Some A1312 running probably Snow Leopard?
I’m more taken by the cameo of a lighter and an ashtray. You don’t see that much anymore these days.
