Tell him to WAIT!
The PowerBook 160, which is expected to ship around mid-Oct, will include a port for external monitor. Also, the PB160 can be directly hooked to a desktop Mac as an external hard drive.
The price of PB160 is expected to be about the current price of the PB145, and the PB145 is expected to be even cheaper when PB160 is out.
