I belive it is GDDR3.

I cannot wait for this thing to get to me. Waiting is the hardest part. Anyone find a review for this yet?

is what i'm hearing about the dv series having issues of heating up to a point that the laptop is basically bricked? i was positive i was going to return the hdx 18 that i just got and keep the dv8 that should be here in 3 or 4 days,and now i'm not sure...

If you're referring to what I was posting in the other thread, it should be known that those were the older DV Series.

I don't think anybody knows yet on the dv8 because nobody has received theirs yet.

I must add, to each their own. And to me it's the HDX18 baby!!

man... i think i'm going to return my hdx 18t for a dv8. the bass/treble going haywire is really beginning to get on my nerves. i can't seem to find any decent coupon codes though. last week there were some $200 off ones floating around. How do people learn about these codes? Is it through HP's emails? Is there a good website to go to that stays current with the latest codes? I hope I can find a good deal before my 21 days is up.

I'll be interested to hear people's thoughts and opinions on the dv8 when they get theirs. i wonder if a hdx 18 backlit keyboard mod will fit the dv8? i'll be also curious if they'll suffer from the bass/treble thing and keyboard scratching the screens of the hdx 18
