I would have honestly just told him to go buy an iPad. If he doesn't do anything like games or even video an iPad would have been ideal. You can get last years 9.7in base model iPad for about $279 which has the exact same processor as this years 10.2in model or you could just opt for the current 10.2in model for $329 if he wants a slightly bigger screen.
I'm saying this because if he doesn't do anything real intensive on his PC an iPad will let him surf the web, email etc....while he's sitting on the couch in the living room. And if he did want to game it just so happens that iPad has a metric $#it ton of games available for it and it's also great for watching Netflix or Amazon Prime.
