After finding out this wont work I now am asking if anyone knows of a laptop that will play FM10 in 3d and the price around £300

did you not know what ubuntu is or something, find it a little strange that someone using that as an OS can't judge comp specs vs minimum reqs

I think it's fair to say that judging by the computer in his first post he doesn't know much about anything computer related (that's not an insult btw...)

I think first things first- is it essential that it's a laptop, or is a desktop ok? Because you'll get twice the bag for your buck that way...but if portability is essential then you'll be pushing it to get a good laptop for 300

Unless you live ina cage, a desktop will fit in your room. They're not THAT big ;) Only thing is that then you will need a desk or something, and if you don't have one already that's another cost to factor in. I'd advise a desk anyway for a laptop if you want kids in the future!

-Anyways... You want Windows 7 as the OS, nothing else. Whether you buy that or find a more ah...'cost-effective' solution is up to you and not open for discussion here ;)

-You want at least a dual core processor, at least 2ghz.

-You want 4gb of ram, but anything over 2gb would be alright (just make sure it's good stuff- go for 2gb of quality memory, rather than 4gb of budget junk)

-You'll be wanting a dedicated graphics card in there. FM isn't all that graphics intensive, so most current video cards should do the trick.

-Hard drive isn't all that important really. If you don't plan on storing heaps of stuff then anything 200gb+ will suffice forever. They're so cheap these days though that it wouldn't hurt to go for 500gb (again, go for speed/quality over capacity, and the cost of these is greatly increased in laptops)

Have a play on Dell, eBay, etc with those in mind and see how you go

Don't know if you're an anti-eBay type, but this one here is a monster machine by your standards:

Plus it leaves you a bit left over to pick up a cheap monitor and keyboard/mouse to see you through til your birthday ;)

I'm not saying that one in particular is the way to go, but just to give you an idea of what a good desktop costs. There are some real bargains on eBay when it comes to PCs and if you're on a tight budget I highly recommend you shop there

eg.
