    Just received a replacement for my 1330, is it ok with Dell to just swap the HDD so that I won't have to reload?

    My original unit has some fitting issues, but the screen & noise is fine. It has the CM LED and the replacement has TMD. I honestly can't tell the difference in terms of grainyness, however, the CM LED is definitely brighter than the TMD.

    As long as they are same spec'ed item, it's okay to swap.

    Achilees, thanks, save me the time to clone it. So far I think Dell's after sale service is quite good, it would have been even better if the Q/C is better.
