One thing to keep in mind if you haven't purchased the notebook yet, get lots of RAM and a CPU that has lots of cores. Also, make sure hard drive you get is a decent size as having multiple VM's can chew through disk space fairly quickly
Thanks - the requirement for the Polycom infrastructure is VSphere - so do I need to purchase the VSphere license?

And no worries about the hardware - workstation will have an i7-4800MQ with 500GB SSD and 32GB RAM
