    hi

    i am going to return a 1530 for a full refund. however, i feel so irritated, that i was thinking of swapping the 200 gb 7200 rpm hard disk with my 1420's 160 gb 7200 rpm hard drive.

    do you think dell will notice this and keeping the sleeve that came with the laptop?

    thanks

    That would be fraud. Last time I checked, Dell can prosecute.

    well if they check, which they probably will, then you won't get a full refund.

    Dell employees check this board regularly, so if you were going to do it, you're cooked now. Open mouth widely and insert foot deeply.

    btw
    Dishonest people like you give the human race a bad name.

    If you're irritated with Dell, don't deal with the company again, but don't come to NBR looking for people to condone theft. I'm surprised that this thread hasn't already been closed.
