Update: Kristy Korcz from GeekSugar tells us that while the rest of the cast members may be on the HP-train, Carrie Bradshaw may remain a devoted Apple fan! Thanks, Kristy!
Carrie Bradshaw is switching to WindowsWindows?! Say it isn’t so. As CNET pointed out earlier this week, SexSEX and the City 2 features product placement from HP instead of Apple. In fact, HP has an entire site dedicated to its Sex and the City campaign.
Now, normally product placement deals in movies wouldn’t be that big of a deal, but this is Sex and the City we’re talking about. In the original HBO television series, Carrie’s Mac was practically its own character.
Not only were her Mac laptops (a series of PowerBook G3 models, though it was a PowerBook Pismo for the bulk of the show’s run) shown at the beginning and end of many episodes, it even had its own subplot in the episode, “My Motherboard, My Self.”

Carrie wasn’t the only Mac user on the show; Miranda, Charlotte and Aleksander Petrovsky all used Macs at various times during the series’ six-year run.
In fact, for the first Sex and the City Film, Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema actually put together a promotional site called, “Carrie Bradshaw’s MacBook Pro” that let fans explore a replica desktop of Carrie’s MacBook from the film. This included e-mails, IM conversations and other novelties.
