Depends heavily on what he wants and what he's going to use it for. If he's willing to go with a desktop for $1000 he can get a really sweet one. Even amongst PC lap tops he can do well, or if he's into graphics & web design, pony up an extra couple hundred and get a macbook.
Because I love novelty I would probably go with one of the touchscreen PCs:

Or if he wants to go the laptop route, I  the sony viao: (convienantly price pointed at 999.99)

He's not into laptops no more. Only desktops, oh and he need's a screen to go with it. Probably willing to pay $200 on top for it.

It makes a world of difference what he wants, so you should post specifications or what the comp will be used for.

For a thousand dollars almost there's a plethora of desk tops he can get that will play WOW.
He'll just need to make sure his comp comes with Microsoft Works or Office (not just a demo of office) so he can do his homework.
