Not sure why I should give a crap what other's have, but I'm quite happy with the items I've bought.
Got a tip for us?

Are you satisfied with what Apple products you own?

Well, as the title says. Surely no one is 100% happy with what they have? As there's always going to be someone with more gadgets than you
Yes.
I wouldn't mind a quad-core 15" mbp to enable better virtual machine performance but hey, can't have everything (actually I could I just don't need it >.<).
I'm very satisfied with my Apple products. I have no shame in software piracy and i keep all my gadgets very up to date on a $0 budget. I have a 2008 MacBook unibody running Lion with plenty of top of the line software. iPhone 4 jailbroken with Siri, so basically a 4S minus the A5. And i still have the iPad 1 as i don't use it enough to warrant an upgrade. I also have Siri on my iPad and really only use it for textbooks and taking notes in class. So i probably won't be getting the iPad 3.
My next upgrade will the the iPhone 5, and maybe a MBA toward the end of 2012 when my MacBook turns 4 years old.

I'm just fine with mine.
The Mac laptops, pads & phones I own, are doing what they were designed to do.
Reliable, decent battery life and reasonably bug free.

Yes, absolutely 100% happy.
My last gen 2.4 black MacBook is a tank. It has been dropped over 10 times and everything still works flawlessly, and it looks perfectly fine too- a little tank of a computer.
My last gen dual core PM G5 is also still my computer that does all the heavy lifting for video editing. Quite simply, they're the best products for what I do.

Sorry to sound rude but why are power pc computers still in use I mean the would be slow right?
Except for the battery life on my 6th gen iPod nano, I've been very satisfied with my Apple products.

Not really. It's all about what sw you use
I'm not happy with my iPhone 3G, less happy with the fact that it got slower with updates instead of atleast staying the same, that is utter crap, now i'm considering getting a 4S or an android.

Not at all. I use CS 4 and Final Cut Pro 6. The G5 is amazing at using both. With 8 gigs of RAM (upgradeable to 16) it gets the job done, and quite well. It's a damn fine computer, and beats the crap out of my 2.4 black MB for most tasks because of the RAM and 2 internal hard drives alone. I have a good video card in it that allows it to process HD video quite nicely too. The last gen G5's were made for the long haul.
The MB keeps me current, and the G5 does the heavy lifting. In fact, a friend of mine has his own freelance design business and still uses an iBook G4 and G4 tower. They are still quite useful.

Well i guess i underestimated PPC architecture
,you see my first mac has been the 2011 macbook pro and the oldest processor i have seen is a pentium 3

I think it just depends on what kind of computer you have. Desktops have a much longer shelf life. I'll use my G5 as a file server when it can no longer keep up. But quite honestly, that's a ways off yet. iTunes keeps updating as well as all online apps, such as Flash. I seriously thought I would replace it sooner, but I see no reason, not as long as I have the MacBook too.
Apple makes good computers.

I am totally satisfied and happy with all my Apple products. Okay, certain things niggle me in Lion (like the removal of advanced features in TC) but workarounds have been found for most things.
On the hardware front, the only faulty device I have had is an ATV second generation which was DOA. Even this didn't big me when I got a huge discount on my new iMac as a result of "The Problems' I had with the unit.
My MBP, MBA and iPhones have never caused any issues on the hardware front at all.

Yeah, I had a G4 Sawtooth for seven years before I replaced it with the G5. I thought the G5 would not be useful for that amount of time, I was thinking 4 years max. Turns out I was completely wrong about that.
I'll most likely get a used Mac Pro. I don't like all-in-ones unless they're laptops. The Mac Pros are great, and there's no need to buy new.
I have a late 09 mb and while it performs great, i do get the bug to upgrade everynow and then but then have to remind myself that its foolish to have the latest when I only really browse the web, do light work and the occassional matlab setting
I have a quad core pc that i could use for any hard core stuff but even that is 4 years old (q6600 cpu)

Well, really duke- once computers crossed the 1Ghz threshold, they became pretty much future proof. All that can really be done now is add more cores as we've seen. Until we see another major breakthrough, computers have gotten as fast as they are going to. When is the last time you heard of a processor going 4Ghz?
