Only if the image were laid over a transparent background. (Select "transparent" as the background type when creating a new image.)
This is probably the most simple method, and the way I'd do it.

Hi there. Unless someone's answered this already, what I would do is crop the main picture to leave just the computer with the white backround. Then use the magic wand to mark out the outlines of the computer and then delete the white background. You will then be left with an isolated picture of the comptuer alone. Select this image and using the method in my original answer to you (above), create a new canvas with a tranparent background and copy the computer onto this new canvas.
If you want to send me the whole picture, I can process it for you and send it back with details of what I had done so that you could repeat it.
Hope this has been helpful. Good luck. 🙂
edit: assuming keynotes accepts PS EPS
if you want to remove the background leaving just the image, you have to create something called a clipping path.
there are a number of ways to create the initial path, the easiest in this case would be to select the magic wand select the background, this will give you a selection around the object then you must inverse the selection (CMD+Shift+i)
Then go to paths (found in the layers palette) in the top right corner is an arrow for a submenu, go there and "make work path" a new path will appear, double click on it and name it what ever you like.
a line (vectored) should now have appeared around your object in the main window, still in the paths palette, again go to the arrow in the top right, and select clipping path, and small window will appear with a drop down, select the path you created earlier, and leave flatness alone...i dont think in this instance it will make any difference.
the clipping path has now been created BUT you have to save it in the correct format, so go to file and save as a Photoshop EPS (NOT DCS EPS)
job done 🙂...at least that should work, i typed this out without actually doing it but im confident its correct...if not im sure someone will correct me.
also just as a pointer when you have saved as an eps, a small eps options window appears, you can if you wanted select a compression (to make the file smaller) its under encoding you can select Jpeg maximum quality.
