Hi,I am planning for buy DELL PRECISION M4800 i7-4800MQ 3.70GHz 8GB 500GB SSD Hybrid 1080p K1100M W8 ProMy Purpose is to build Lab for virtualization vmware

at least 3 VM machines simultanously
I will upgrade ram to 16 GB Later
Could any give me the suggestion on this laptop. ?

is there any overheating issue with laptop and any other problems .
 
That's a pretty new laptop, it does not have any historical data on issues with it yet. It looks to have gotten good reviews for build quality.
 
Have purchased 2 Dell Precision m4800's. Both have experienced almost daily "freezing/lock-up" problems from the start. After working with Dell Tech Support for almost 3 weeks (motherboard replacement, video card replacement, bios & driver updates, etc) both are being returned. These problems are not unique to us. Go to the following link where there are 18 pages of complaints for the same freezing issue:
