PC Requirements?

Hi all. I used to play Cyanide a few years but my laptop died. I have got back into tabletop BB in a big way, and want to play online too to improve my play.

Problem is I only have an iPad.
I'm willing to invest in a new laptop or whatever in order to play Cyanide and FUMBBL. I'm no expert on computers whatsoever, and don't want to pay more than I need to obviously. If I just pick up a cheap laptop, that should work fine, right? Or do I need to look out for something more specific?

Thanks very much in advance for any comments.

I do not know about Cyanide (although I will be watching the answer you get so I know too), but any of the cheap computers for sale these days should easily play FUMBBL.

For sure, basically any computer can run FUMBBL. It only needs java supports and you're good to go. But no, an Ipad doesn't qualify as "a computer" ;)
