The main problem is that the drivers that are on the hard drive for your existing laptop almost 100% will not be the drivers needed on the new laptop. Different video/audio cards and so on. As well the new laptop drive will be larger and faster. Simply swapping the HD to the new laptop would result in a slower laptop.
Cure for this is to go to Fry's and get a "external hard drive enclosure" for your drive. Cost is usually about $30 and you plug your old laptop HD inside and a USB cable to your new laptop. Then copy the data to the new laptop and go from there.
If you want to just pull the HD and have it copied, give it to me and can do it easily. Buy me a drink at dinner...
