"Not just fanbois, media workers as well. Outside of USA, the major use of Apple hardware is in the media professions. This is partially why Apple products show up in various movies, ads and tv shows, because that is what they have on hand in the studio at the time."
Or maybe they just have aesthetically more pleasing case designs;)

No.
Apple literally sends hardware to TV studios and movies so that it gets used. It's easier for the studios to use Apple products since they don't actually have to go to the store and buy it, as well as they are happy to get free stuff.

OK... I know Apple is not buddies on the patent front and their App Store is not GPL friendly, but I am sure movie studios can get any computer for free if they say it will be featured in the movie.
Apple does some stuff good and their products are nicely designed from a visual prospective. The HP Envy is one of the few computers not made by Apple which has a nice design and I sometimes see that computer in ads and movies, also.
