Define "Not too expensive" from your end, would make it easier.

Less than 1000 usd.

The basic Macbook and Macbook Air would be under your price range, I used to have a Mac and I suggest him to give it a go with one as it's an awesome experience.

I think windows is what he needs.

i d go for a core i3 or core i5 with 3GB DDR3 ram. there are 2 brands i would recommend. Compaq - Price is cheap, Toshiba - price is bit expensive but bellow $1000 for sure / good for hard use.

Toshiba L650
