I own both and have not yet tried to get either replaced.  Fortunately.

Agreed.  My MacBook Pro is first generation and it has been great.  I have 
had some annoying issues, but Apple has been very helpful.  Computers 
have problems.  It does not matter what brand they are.  I always get 
warranties.  I highly suggest them to everyone.  Especially if you are 
buying a laptop.
