Russian President Medvedev pictured with MacBook Pro
The Kremlin has released photos of Russian President Dimitry Medvedev holding a meeting with his aides and what appears to be a new MacBook Pro.
The president also recently addressed the nation in a video blog post, where his MacBook Pro was seen in a similar meeting. The logo had been removed from the video early on, but is visible around the 1:20 mark. Other videos on the Kremlin's website show Medvedev with a variety of computers.
Medvedev has previously been photographed using an iPhone, though some speculated it was a black-market acquisition. At the time the photo was taken, the iPhone was not yet available for sale in Russia.
This follows in the footsteps of other high-profile world leaders using Apple products, including former Swedish Prime Minister Carl Bildt's switch to a Mac last month.
Thanks, Andrei!

Are we sure it's actually an Apple product? It could be a recent Agat.

And what? :) Czech Deputy Prime Minister / Minister for the Environment has a MBP too ... and many other members of the Czech government, although there is no Apple office in the Czech Rep, only a couple of premium resellers :(

Да, я люблю моего компьютера Apple очень много.
Она очень стабильна.
i think it's the new one, because all of the peripheral ports are on the left side. Also, I agree that it would be a bad advertising idea to use these pictures, but not because of his policies- the aluminum casing for the screen is bent- a lot...Aluminum is sooo strong-apparently Pro people don't need durability i their laptops?

What you just said was essentially "The stupid is belong to you." Which, obviously makes no sense at all. So to clarify: You like the man stick up your bum hole.
