Tell him to buy himself a laptop
At the prices of laptops today, the savings for a desktop are not worth
the effort.
Plus the laptop provides a built-in backup power supply, aka battery.


Laptops have a place, but for home use, I still prefer a big honkin'
desktop with a 21 inch or larger monitor, keyboard that can be moved
around, etc.

When I want portability, my netbook has traveled to much of the US and
Europe with me. Or it can sit on my belly when in front of the TV.
