Found this Dell

It's their rival to the Macbook Pro - same spec but cheaper.- in Canada, the same spec Dell is the same price as the Macbook Pro http://www.dell.com/…spot13

what for?
I'd get a chromebook if I didn't need a mac or adobe.
If need adobe, no idea. Most good pc laptops look like macbook rip offs and are about the same price anyway. You're looking at a marginal difference in $- haven't seen one that looks like a macbook and there is a huge difference in cost.fadein11

Dell's XPS line is pretty nice. Amazing resolution, built well, etc.

I had a custom build from here >> http://www.workstationspecialist…
...although I needed something I could render with on the fly (32bg ram, Nvideo Quadro graphics card etc.)
AE work etc.
Great company that build & tune to your requirements :]

You can get a MacBook Air for ~$1,000 — or a used MacBook / MacBook Pro even cheaper.

His family will use this, children who are used to Windows, that's why he doesn't want or need a Mac. Makes perfect sense.
