Looks decent enough and can go to PB tech tomorrow and pick it up.
Ah yea was a aging laptop maybe 8 years old. Just best bang for buck really under $900.
I would tell him to go instore and have a play with the display models if any are setup, you never know how the screen quality/colour is until you see them in person.
